1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix first 8 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk eggs and all remaining ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until moistened; gather dough together. Turn dough out onto baking sheet and shape into 12-inch-long by 3-inch-wide log.

Using long metal spatula, carefully transfer log to work surface. Using serrated knife, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices, cut side down, on 2 clean rimmed baking sheets.
