Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside. Roll one portion of dough at a time on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thick. Cut into desired shapes using a 2-to3½-inch cookie cutter. Place one-inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. For gingerbread people: use 4-inch people-shaped cutters.
Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool. If desired, decorate cookies with Royal Icing.
