  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover a large cookie sheet with

    cookie dough into four balls, knead each one well, then roll them
    out separately and cut into squares or other desired shapes. Place
    on cookie sheet and garnish with cranberries and/or a sprinkle of
    dehydrated maple syrup.

    in color. Cool cookies completely before storing in an open bowl.
