Using your favorite cookie cutter, cut the dough into your favorite festive shapes e.g star, then transfer the cookies to an ungreased baking sheet(ensure your ungreased baking sheet has been placed in a baking tray before cutting)
5. Place the cut-out cookies into the oven using your favorite baking tray, then bake for about 10 – 12 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Rotate the pan when halfway through baking for an even baking. Transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack, and let them completely cool down, then decorate and serve.
