STEP 3
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 4
Divide 1 log dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into 6-inch log on lightly floured surface. Place each piece onto large parchment-lined cookie sheet. Pat each log into 1 1/2-inch-wide strip. Press 1-inch-wide indentation lengthwise down center of each strip using finger. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons fruit spread into indentation of each log. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
