* heat oven to 400 degrees F. On lightly floured surface roll out dough, one third at a time (keeping remaining dough in the fridge), Cut with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.Enjoy! : )

Also like I said, this recipe isn't mine or my family's. It originally came off the Land-o-lakes butter package and who knows where they got it, but I have been using it for years and it's only fair to pass it along and share it with anyone who would like this recipe! But yes, these truly are "the best ever butter cookies." Nothing can beat the flavor of these cookies! Seriously, they're unbeatable! So please anyone who wants it, please use the recipe and enjoy them and make them for your own family year after year! Happy holidays! : )
