- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the top sheet of wax paper from dough disks and stamp out cookies with 11/2-inch cookie cutter. Place the cookies on the baking sheets 1-inch apart and bake for about 20 minutes until lightly golden. Halfway through baking rotate the baking pans.
- Cool the cookies in the pans for a few minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
