7. The next day roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters(I used a 2 inch round cookie cutter).
8. Before baking, place a 9 x 13 inch cake pan full of water at the bottom of the oven.
9. Bake at 400u0b0F for 8- 10 minutes(for my convection oven I found this a bit too hot, I used 375u0b0F for 8 minutes.).

11. Ice cookies after they have cooled, with a glace.
12. You can use a pastry brush to apply the glace.
