- Take the dough out of the fridge and keep it at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is soft enough to roll easily.
- Place the dough between two sheets of cling film and roll out until the dough is quarter of an inch thick. Using the cookie cutter of your choice cut the cookies from the flattened dough.

Place the cookies on the baking sheet a cookie-width apart. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
