          -decorating
          Cookies

      Cut each sugar cookie dough roll in half. Form each into a ball and
 flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes
 until firm. Draw and cut out hand shapes of family members to use as guides
 for making cookies.
      Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (check temperature on cookie dough
 package.) Working with one dough ball at a time on floured board, roll out
 to about 1/4 inch thick. Use enough flour so dough isnt sticky and can be
 easily removed to cookie sheet. Place paper hand cut-out on dough and trace
 with a sharp knife, making cookie hands. Place on cookie sheets & bake
 until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on rack completely
 before decorating. Repeat with all cookie dough. Decorate using icings and
 candies. You can even write family members names on each. This is the fun
 part to do with kids!
