Transfer to freezer and freeze at least 1 hour, but no more than 3 hours.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Use sharp serrated knife to cut loaf into ⅛-inch thick slices. The semi frozen state of the loaf will help keep the cookie from crumbling while being sliced so thinly.
Arrange slices in single layer on a cookie sheet.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through baking. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
Store at room temperature in airtight container up to 1 week.
