Divide dough in half, and shape each section into a disk.
Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and chill 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to
handle.

Preheat oven to 400F. On a lightly floured surface, roll each
half of chilled dough to ¼ inch thick. Cut into shapes with 2 ½-inch cookie
cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

| I made the cookies a little thinner than they were supposed to be and got a lot more of them that the recipe said I would. FYI, there's that. |
Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges
are firm and bottoms lightly browned. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool
completely. Decorate as desired.

| I created the cookies in my own image. |
My Rating: 4/5 "These are just good solid legit sugar cookies. Make 'em to feed a crowd and enjoy the time decorating them. Some quality cookie time might be just what you need."
