Mocha Cookies
If you chill the dough for longer than an hour, you may need to let it soften on the counter before rolling it out. These cookies are also good cut small and dusted lightly with coarse sea salt before baking.

Chill dough for 1 hour before rolling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with your favorite Ann Clark Ltd. cookie cutters. (To prevent the tops of the cookies from looking white, place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the dough as you roll it, instead of dusting the top with flour.)
Transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until surface of cookies looks dry and set.
Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired.
