Chill in refrigerator for 30 min. Roll out dough to 1/2" thick; cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Place on ungreased (or use PAM) cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 min. in preheated oven, or until golden on the bottom. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks. I had the dough 1/2" thick and cooked it only 8 min., and mine were still soft and delicious days later. You won't have as many cookies, but they will be good. Dona Howell
