 and refrigerate until firm, 
at least 1 hr. (or up to 2 days)

Roll out dough and cut out cookies. 
place on parchment lined cookie sheets.

Return to fridge and leave 15 mins more
so cookies will not lose their shape when cooking.

Cookies will keep 3 days in fridge undecorated.
They freeze well also
