  4. Cover the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. Do not refrigerate the dough for longer or else it will become too dry to roll out.
  5. While the dough is in the fridge , preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Remove the dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a sheet of 1/4 inch thickness with the help of rolling pin.
  7. Cut out cookies of desired shape with the help of cookie cutters and arrange them on a baking tray. Bake the cookies at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes per batch either in an oven or a microwave oven in convection mode.
  8. The cookies will look soft while they are hot , but they harden as they cool down, so do not increase the time of baking. Let the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
  9. Transfer the cookies to an air tight container.
