3. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet. Decorate if desired. Place cookie sheet in the center rack of the oven. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (time will depend on cookie size).

Helpful Tips
Shortbreads are one of the few cookies that are altered significantly when made with margarine. Although butter and margarine contribute the same amount of total fat to the recipe. Butter contains more saturated fat than most soft margarine.

"Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink.... Is not life more than food...? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:25-26)

Jesus, You are the Bread of Life. Lead me always in the path of righteousness. Amen.
