These cookies are perfect to use with cookie cutters to cut into your own shapes. This are great for holidays, and you can tailor them to whatever the day is. This batch was for July 4, wheat each cookie is a star, with the 2 letter code of each state drawn on. I'm definitely not an artist, so hopefully you can do a better job than me

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat the egg, and mix with the rest of the wet ingredients. Add in the dry ingredients, and fold together with a spatula, or your hands if needed. The dough will feel a little drier and denser, since it needs to be able to be rolled out. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
