3. Preheat oven to 350u00b0F (175u00b0C) and line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the first ball of dough until just over 1/8-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter of your choice to cut out cookie shapes. Lift them carefully to the prepared trays, leaving about 1/2-inch between them. Add any scraps to the second piece of dough and repeat.

4. Bake cookies for 15-18 minutes until browned a little just around the edges. Let cookies cool for a few minutes on the tray before removing to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar for an easy way to add a festive touch.

5. Cookies will keep for up to 10 days in an airtight container.
