These being thinner, they’re more delicate, and benefit from reduced baking time. I set the timer for 6 minutes, rotated the tray, and baked an additional 2-3 minutes.

Parchment-lined baking sheets will give a similar effect. I used silicone mat-lined baking sheets so that cookies would not spread as much, and so there would be no risk of them sticking to the pan.Cookies spread a bit, so I would leave 2 inches between them on cookie sheets.I would not roll thinner than 1/4-inch, it’s about the perfect thickness.When rolling, thoroughly sprinkle with powdered sugar, roll a bit, lift dough and rotate, roll a bit more, and make sure it’s not sticking along the way… though this process is pretty typical for making any cutout recipe, I think it bears mentioning.You can use flour if you prefer, but I LOVE what rolling cutouts in powdered sugar does for them. I used over a cup in the course of a batch. Use ample powdered sugar - you really can’t overdo it - for dusting them and rolling them out.The dough softens rather quickly (because it has lots of butter = yay!), so work somewhat swiftly.Work in small batches, about the size of an orange or small grapefruit, and leave the remaining dough in the fridge so that it stays chilled.They can be made into cutouts, and I do love the end result, but the process is a bit cumbersome. I have experimented with them as cutouts, and while they’re unbelievably delicious, I think the dough is more high-maintenance than other cutout cookie recipes. The short answer is that I don’t recommend it. NOTE - updated December 2019: I have been asked many times about whether these can be made into cutouts.
