Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll out, about 1 hour.
If it gets too cold to roll out let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes

Step 6
Roll the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut your cookies out with a cookie cutter and place on the cookie sheets.

Chill the cookies on the sheets in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Step 8
Place sheets in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Be sure to turn the sheet pans around half way through baking to ensure even baking.
When the cookies are done the edges of the cookies will be slightly golden in color.

Step 9
Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet.

Store the cookies in a jar or if you wish they will freeze very well.
