Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Shape the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 7: Roll out dough and cut into shapes
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.
Step 8: Bake
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
