Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes with holiday cookie cutters; transfer to lightly greased baking sheets. Preheat oven to 350º. Bake cookies for 8 -10 mins. (do not over bake). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets until they are firm, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
