Roll out on floured surface to about 1/4 to 3/8" thick. Cut into shapes as desired.
Bake in 375º preheated oven for 8:40 to 8;50 minutes (don't let edges brown). Cool on wire racks.
Ice cookies:
Beat all ingredients together. Make icing stiff to begin with to use as outline for the icing filling. Once you've outlined the cookies, think icing to 'flood' insides of cookies.
