5
Turn the mixer speed to low and add in the flour, mixing until the dough comes together.
6
Divide the dough into 3 sections and on a floured working surface roll the dough to 1/3 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes of the dough with your desired cutter(s) and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet 1½ inches apart. If you are baking in batches, keep the unused dough in the refrigerator until ready to use to prevent dough from getting too warm.

Bake cookies for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
