Roll, cut-out, and Bake
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface
- Dust the rolling pin and surface of the dough lightly with more as needed.
- I roll my cookies a minimum ⅛ inch or 3 mm thick using a rolling pin with spacers.
- ( I often do ¼ inch thick as well as you can see in the images below)
- Cut out desired shaped cookies and place them on a cookie sheet one inch apart.
- Bake cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the cookies.
- When baked let cool on the tray for 7 to 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool further.
- You can eat these cookies as is or decorate them with royal icing or fondant.
