Once you have your dough, roll it out using a little flour or two sheets of wax paper until it is about 1/8 - 1/4 inch in thickness.
Begin cutting out your cookies using your desired cookie cutters.
Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Cool them, then frost or ice them as desired.
