Instructions to make Cut Out Sugar Cookies:

- Separate the dough into two seperate, equal portions. Roll each one out on parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Refrigerate rolled out dough at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Once dough is chilled and your ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper.

- Cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting.
- Once ready to frost, simply whisk the frosting ingredients together in a medium bowl. If using food coloring, add that in also.
- Frost the cookies in any way you’d like. If using sprinkles, use right after frosting the cookie, before the frosting bes to set.
