These make excellent cutout cookies. They don't puff or spread as some do, but maintain their cookie-cutter shape. Nice buttery flavour. Firm but tender texture. I chilled the cutouts for 30 minutes before baking. I also removed the baked cookies when the bottoms were just beginning to brown, but not the edges.
