- Mix all ingredients and chill over night. If you need to chill it less, make sure it is cold all the way through.
- Roll out dough and use cookie cutters to make shapes. I have made it by forming balls and flattening them but you need to flatten them with a glass or plate. They expand very little during baking and need to be at least a 1/4 inch thick. You can roll out remaining dough as many times as it takes to use it all.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. I would check them at 8 minutes if you have a hot oven.
