Quick and Easy Easter Shortbread Cutout Cookies.
No Refrigeration dough!! Just mix up dough, roll out, and bake!
Roll out dough to 1/4 inch, maybe a tad thicker. Use any cookie cutter you like and then bake. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour on the counter and dough.
Baking times may vary a little depending on the thickness and size of cutters you use. You just want to see a little golden on the edge and then they are done.
Mix up icing and then dip the cookie face down in the icing and place on rack or parchment paper.
