Pick the cookie cutters up slowly so the cookie comes out with the cutter. I find this is the easiest way for the more intricate designs to keep their shape. Use the bristle end of a small brush, like a cookie decorating brush (or kid&rsquo;s paint brush), to help nudge the dough out of the cutter. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet.
