2. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, and roll it 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut with Linzer cutters*, place the cookies on lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, and bake them in preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are very lightly browned on the edges. Remove them from the oven and cool on racks.
3. Dust the cookies whose centers are cut out with confectioners' or Snow White Sugar. Mix the frosting ingredients, then spread a thin layer on the bottom (solid) halves. Top with the cut-out halves. Store the cookies in airtight containers for several days, or freeze for longer storage.
