- Shape the dough into a disc, cling wrap, and chill for one hour.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough. For easier rolling, place the dough between two pieces of wax paper. Once the dough is ¼ of an inch thick, use your maple leaf cookie cutter to cut the dough.
- Place the raw cookies on a lined baking sheet and in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 325F. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges look set. Do not overbake them, as it makes them dry and brown. Let them cool down for a few minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to cool down fully.
