Shape each half into 14×2-inch log with lightly floured hands; place on greased baking sheet. Bake 30 min. or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheet; place on cutting board; cool 5 min. Using a knife, diagonally cut each log into 12 slices; place upright on baking sheet, 1/2 inch apart. Bake an additional 15 to 18 min. or until slightly dried. Remove from baking sheet.
