Divide dough in half, cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Heat oven to 350°F.
Roll out dough in between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking to rolling pin.

Cut out shapes and place on baking sheets and freeze for 15 minutes so the cookies hold their shape as they bake.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until they feel firm. My cookies baked in 10 minutes.
