1 To assemble: Place cookie dough on a floured surface and roll until 1/4-inch-thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes.

2 Using a smaller cookie cutter or knife, cut shapes into the center of each cookie. (If cookies will be hung as ornaments or decorations, poke a small hole on the top part of each cookie before baking.)

3 Sprinkle colored sugar into the hollowed-out centers, filling to the brim.

4 When cooled, store in an airtight container. (String with ribbon to hang the cookies as ornaments, if desired.) To give as gifts, here's How to package baked goods.
