Rolled
"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."
