Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Place the dough on a table dusted with flour and knead it a little with your hands. Then, roll out the pastry with a rolling pin dusted with some flour. Cut the dough with cookie cutters and place in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake about 15 minutes until the biscuits begin to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely.
