To make cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the dough to ¼” (6 mm) thick. Lightly dip the Rolling Cookie Cutter or Emoji Cookie Cutters in flour and cut out cookies. Use a spatula to move the cookies onto a Cookie Sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until they are light golden brown. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven to a cooling rack and cool for 3 minutes. Decorate as you like.
