In the stand up mixer or with a hand beater cream the butter and sugar for a 1-2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Add the flour and mix on low just until the dough starts to come together.
On a lightly floured flat surface gently form the dough into a ball.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
Roll the dough to about ¼-½ inch thick and cut out with your favourite cookie cutters.
Place on the prepared cookie sheet and refrigerate while the oven is pre-heating.
Pre-heat oven to 325F (160C).
Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn lightly golden.
Let cool for a bit on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to completely cool.
