Place the dough on a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap

and then place another sheet on top.

roll dough to 1/4″ thick

and chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut in desired shapes with cookie cutters.

Place cookies 2″ apart on a baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. If you bake them on the short end they will stay soft and chewy and if you bake them on the longer end they will be nice and crispy. They’re great either way!
