Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough, then form into an even rectangle about 4-inches wide and 14-inches long, adding more flour as needed while you shape the dough.

Lightly beat the remaining egg white, then brush the exposed surfaces of the dough with egg white. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and carefully slide the parchment onto a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the dough into 1-inch thick slices. Spread the slices out onto the sheet pan and bake again for 10 minutes, turning the cookies over halfway through baking time.
