If dough is very soft, use freezer instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Form cookies and let chill again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Divide dough into two parts and, on a lightly floured surface (or use two sheets of parchment paper), roll out one piece about 0.2 inch thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do the same with the other piece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cookies. They won't spread so don't worry if they are close to each other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important: <strong>make them chill into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes<\/strong>, so they hold their shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-133a6c15-454b-403a-816b-a175cf49a9c9\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bake cookies at 180\u00b0 C \/ 355\u00b0 F for about 14-17 minutes (every oven is different).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally let cool down on a cooling rack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glaze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Decorate them with a simple lemon glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice: the right consistency is \"in the middle\", not too thin and not too thick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah!

Let dough chill<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's important that you give the cookie dough time to chill into the fridge (or freezer), so 1. it won't be sticky, 2. when you'll bake the cookies, the cold butter into the dough will release water that will form steam, and will give you an almost flaky consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use softened butter for a more tender texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">3.
