Directions:

  5. Form both sets of dough into disks and wrap in plastic wrap 
  6. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight, then remove from fridge  
  7. Heat oven to 350°
  8. Lightly flour surface and roll both discs of dough into ¼ inch rectangles  
  9. Using preferred cookie cutters, cut cookie shapes and place onto pan lined with parchment paper
  10. Place cookies into oven for 7 to 9 minutes 
  11. Cool and enjoy!
