2. Roll cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-1/4″ thick. Freeze 20-30 minutes. While it’s freezing, preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or non-stick liner.
3. Remove from freezer and peel off top layer of parchment paper. Cut out using cookie cutter. Gently transfer shapes to prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in preheated oven 5-8 minutes, or until edges begin turning golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 30 minutes before icing.
