- Grease the cookie sheets. Now, spread some flour on the work surface and also flour the rolling pin.
- Roll out the dough using the pin, until it is 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick. You can add flour if the dough is sticky. However, make sure that you add a minimal amount of dough to get rid of the stickiness.
- Using Hanukkah cookie cutters, cut the dough neatly, to make small shaped cookies. You can also use normal cookie cutters, in case you don’t have Hanukkah cookie cutters at your disposal.
- Arrange the cookies on the greased cooking sheet. Make sure that you leave some space between the cookies and don’t over lap them.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for a small period of 6-8 minutes. Your baked cookies should come out light brown in color.
- Let the cookies cool for some time, so that they are ready to be served to your guests.
