Elaine, I ref...Thanks for the concert wishes guys!<br /><br />Elaine, I refrigerated mine for 2 hours (I didn't have 3 hours, as stated by Dorie). I find with doughs like this that rolling them on parchment paper not only assists with rolling out the dough, but if the cut outs start to stick or you have difficulty removing the scraps, the paper makes it easier to manipulate the dough (eg I used a knife to scrape the scraps from around the cookies, then left the cookies on the parchment and cut around each one with scissors to lift and position on the baking tray). Once they are baked, it's all plain sailing - they come straight off the parchment paper.Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.com
