  5. Roll dough out onto a floured work surface until 1/8 inch thick; cut cookies with cookie cutter and place about 1 ½ inches apart; reroll any scraps and repeat until all of the dough is used
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown; let cookies cool on baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to a rack
