Divide in half and flatten into discs; wrap each and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
On floured surface, roll out each disc to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Using cutter or template, cut out shapes, rerolling scraps and chilling dough before cutting again. Place, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined pans. Freeze for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
Bake in 350 °F (180°C) oven until edges begin to darken, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 1 month.)
