Divide the dough in half and shape it into discs. Then, wrap the discs tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper in the meantime.

After chilling, take the discs out and roll them out on a lightly floured surface. Then, using a cookie cutter of your own choice, cut the discs into 2-inch cookies, and place them on the prepared sheets. Bake them for 9-10 minutes.

Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
