Place dough into a pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Roll out dough about 1/2 inch thick and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Cut dough into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 300ºF or until light golden brown around the edges. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
