  Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with your favorite Ann Clark cookie cutters, then transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners.

  Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.

  Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  Frost cookies if desired before serving.
