Chill for 1 hour. Roll in flour. Cut and bake anywhere between 8-12 minutes depending on the size of your cookies.
Icing

Place in top of double boiler over very low heat (not boiling). Stir until sugar dissolves and smooth.

Tint with food coloring and spoon over cookie on cooking racks. Place parchment paper under rack to make clean up easy.

Scrape drippings and re-melt. If water in double-boiler boils, the icing will not be shiny. Can almost make this icing using hot water + no double boiler.
