Wrap in wax paper and chill in fridge 2 hours our overnight 1/4 dough at a time and roll out to about 1/4" and cut into desired cookie sizes w/ cookie cutters. Bake at 350 for 8-10 or 12-15 min - depending on oven - until they are just light brown. Usually you should at least double (or quadruple!) the batch to make it worthwhile (they go quick!)
