The dough will be crumbly, so knead it together with your hands as you scoop it out of the bowl until it comes together.
5
Roll on a floured surface to about 1/4" to 3/8" thick, and cut into shapes using cookie cutters.
6
Place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart and then transfer to the freezer for ⏱️ 10 minutes, while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
7
Bake for ⏱️ 10-12 minutes until just barely golden on the bottoms. Watch them carefully and don’t over-bake.
8
Let sit for a few minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before icing.

Enjoy plain or decorate and allow to set (usually ⏱️ 3 hours or overnight) before stacking.
