Test Kitchen Tips:

• To make cut-out cookies, do not scoop dough into balls. Shape dough into a flat disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate as directed. Once dough is chilled, roll out on generously floured surface to about 1/4-inch (0.5-cm) thickness. Cut into shapes with your favourite cookie cutters. Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake as directed.
• Use your favourite canned frosting in any flavour or make your own. Dip, spread or pipe frosting onto cookies, as desired. Microwave 1 can of store-bought frosting in medium microwave-safe bowl on High 20 to 30 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds, until frosting is pourable consistency. Dip tops of cookies into frosting, allowing excess to drip off. Place cookies on wire rack set over foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with additional Finishing Sugar. Let stand until frosting is set.
