First preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Than put flour on a flat surface, and roller it out with a rolling pin (make sure all the cookie dough is even in surface.) Than cut your cookies into shape with your awesome holiday cookie cutters! After that put them on a tray and slide them into the oven for between 6-10 minutes (it all depends on your preference.)
Enjoy
Pull your delectable Christmas treat out of the oven and enjoy! Have a happy holidays everyone!
