Baking tips:

• After pressing the cookie cutter into the dough, shake it gently against the table to loosen the dough around it. The cookie in the middle of the cutter may stick to it otherwise.
• When rolling the dough, roll gently, as it is soft dough and can flatten easily or stick to the table or the rolling pin. Also, make sure the rolled out dough is at least one quarter inch thick when cutting the cookie.
• Leftover dough that does not fit into a cookie cutter can be shaped by hand into a ball and baked. This dough can also be creatively shaped like a star, a letter, or a heart – however the baker may choose.
• Although they are shortbread, these cookies have a tendency to expand slightly while baking. Place them far enough apart on the cookie tray to accommodate for expansion.
• Keep a careful eye on the cookies. They take no time to go from done to overdone.
• Roll only small pieces of the dough at a time, gathering the dough around the cookie shape and adding it to the next piece.
