Divide the chilled dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough at a time 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375ºF oven about 8 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool the cookies on a wire rack. Makes about 60. |
