Cooking Notes:

You will need cookie cutter or biscuit cutters depending on what shape you like best.  Round cookies are easy to eat and cook evenly.  But holiday shapes like gingerbread men or Christmas trees can be a lot of fun as well.

Feel free to sprinkle extra flour if they are sticking when you go to roll them out.
