cutout cookies

Pressed dough shapes

Cutout cookies are sugar cookies rolled flat and cut into shapes with cookie cutters before baking.

The dough must be firm enough to hold its shape, typically chilled before rolling.

Cutout cookies are associated with holidays—gingerbread men at Christmas, hearts for Valentine's Day—and often decorated with icing or sprinkles: The kids spent the afternoon decorating cutout cookies.
