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.

mine came out all spread out. didn't shape the cookies with cookie cutter, so we had to cut the dough up, but it tastes really nice.
