Step 5: Add dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix together until it is a consistent dough texture with no clumps.
Step 6: Divide the dough in half, wrap each half tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chilled.
Step 7: While the dough is in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 320° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8: Lightly flour the surface of your counter and roll out the first half of the dough until it is 1/5 inch thick.
Step 9: Use a thin glass or round cookie cutter to cut out the dough, then set round cookies aside.
Step 10: Use the other half of the dough and repeat step 9 then use a smaller star cookie cutter to cut windows in the center of the dough.
Step 11: Transfer dough to the parchment-covered baking sheet and bake for 9-12 minutes until lightly golden.
