Notes
If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a can lid, empty can tin, or a drinking cup. Don't forget to flour whatever you are using to cut the dough with to prevent sticking.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle! Just make sure to wipe the bottle clean and dust with flour before using.
