I, too, love making decorated cookies. This is a tip for actually making the cut out cookies that I thought I would share as it made me want to make the cookies more often. Instead of putting the dough in the refrigerator immediately and then trying to roll it out, I put appropriate sized amounts of dough between 2 layers of parchment and roll it out while the dough is soft immediately after mixing. I put the flat pieces on top of a cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes and then cut the cookies. It is SO much easier to roll out the dough. Thanks for sharing Jill. Flat dough does chill so much easier, and more evenly. Great tip!~ MaryJane
