Step 6: Preheat oven to 325°F.

Step 7: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting with as much of remaining 1/4 cup flour as needed to prevent sticking, until soft and easy to handle, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 8: For cookie cutters: Roll out remaining dough to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out as many cookies as possible with cookie cutter and carefully transfer with offset spatula to 2 silpat-lined baking sheets, arranging them about 1 inch apart. They do spread so be careful not to put too close together! I’ve found if you have trouble transferring them, popping them into the freezer for a few min helps. For cake pans: Oil pans well and fill with a ball made of approximately 2 tbsps of dough. Pat down into pan forms.

Step 9:  Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until edges are slightly darker, 10 to 12 minutes total (watch carefully toward end of baking; cookies can burn easily). Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. Make more cookies with remaining dough and scraps.
