Cutout Cookies
"Cutout cookie dough is stiff enough to be rolled out, then cut into assorted shapes. For easier handling, chill the dough before rolling and work with small amounts at a time, keeping remaining chilled till needed. Unchilled dough takes up too much flour, resulting in tough, dry cookies. Excessive re-rolling also causes tough cookies.
Use a knive, cookie cutters, or traceable cardboard patterns to produce unusual cookie designs. Bake till lightly browned."
