roll 1 piece of dough at a time (keep remainder refrigerated) to 1/8"
thick. Cut in desired shapes with 2 1/4" cookie cutters. Place 1"
apart on ungreased sheets. Press leftover scraps of dough together &
chill. Bake cookies 9-12 minutes until very lightly browned. Remove
to rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. To splatter
paint cookies, divide cream among small bowls. Stir a different color
into each. Arrange cookies on a waxed paper covered surface. Dip a
small brush in colored cream & flick over cookies or brush over tops.
Let stand about 2 hours until paint is absorbed. Store airtight up to
2 weeks or freeze.
