On a powdered sugar covered surface, roll out half the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on greased cookie sheets. Roll out remaining dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut dough into lattice-style strips. Criss-cross strips in a lattice fashion over cutout cookies; lightly pressing ends to cookies. Trim strips as needed. Gather scraps and repeat rolling and cutting dough.
