Chill the shaped cookies for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator, or freeze for 1 hour. It is important to chill the cookies before baking or they may spread out and lose their shape. Heat the oven to 350° F. Bake the cookies (one tray at a time) for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges and just set. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
