5. Combine well into a soft dough..
6. Cling wrap the dough and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes..
7. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Shape cookies into desired shape. (you can also alternately roll out the dough and make shapes with cookie cutters) Arrange the cookies on a greased baking tray..
8. Bake for 19 to 20 minutes (oven times may vary) or till the edges just start to change color. Cool completely and store in an air-tight container. (don't worry if the cookies are slightly soft after baking, they will harden as they cool down).

I also add ground pumpkin seeds to the cookie dough. Such a great way to relax after a hard days work. Press crust into the prepared baking dish in an even layer and set aside. I substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the regular all-purpose flour. I ended up with delicious, fluffy, whole wheat cookies.
