- Press into a disc, wrap in clear wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 356°F (180°C / gas mark 4).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to the thickness of a coin and using cookie cutters, cut-out shapes. Prick tops lightly with a fork. Lift onto parchment-lined baking sheets or well-greased baking sheets.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden in color.
- Leave to stand for a few minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
