Little Hands Christmas Cookies

Remove the dough sheet from the package and place on cutting board or clean flat surface.

Position child's hand on the dough and trace around hand and fingers with a table knife.

Gently remove the cut-out cookie "hand" being careful not to tear it. If desired, you may also wish to poke a small hole near the base of the palm for hanging as an ornament on the tree with a thin ribbon. Cut the hole before baking. (You may also want to have fun creating other shapes, using cookie cutters.)

Place cookie hands on a cookie sheet at least an inch apart and bake according to package directions.

Allow to cool on a baking rack. If desired, ice the cookies using a prepared frosting, and add sprinkles.

Makes 10 to 16 cookie cutouts, or 4 hands plus 4 cookie cutouts.
