On a floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough to a ½ inch thickness. Using a 1 inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Gather trimmings, re- roll, and cut out more cookies.

Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until set and golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Baking Tips:

If using almond extract, sprinkle cookies with finely ground almonds before baking.

If you don't have a 1 inch cookie cutter, you can use a napkin ring instead.
