  • Put the dough on a floured work surface and roll it out to 5 mm thickness. Use variously shaped cookie cutters (stars, hearts, trees etc.) to cut out festive shapes and put them on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper. (Or form small balls with wet fingers, put them on a cookie sheet and flatten them by pressing down).
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack.
  • To make the icing: mix the icing sugar and egg white. Decorate the cold cookies with the icing using a piping bag or empty plastic syringe.
