Refuce speed to low, add flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour (or overnight). 2. Preheat over to 350. Transfer doughto a work surface lightly dusted with confectioners sugar. Roll out dough to 1/8" thick. Cut out cookies using a 2" round cookie cutter.
