Preheat oven to 350°F.

After 1 hour take the dough from refrigerator and keep at room temperature for at least 10 - 15 minutes Looks like very hard but its ok, make it like ball and roll it for how thickness you want and now cut out the cookie shape with the cookie cutter. Place the cookie on the cookie sheet with at least 1/2 inch distance between the cookie shape.
