With the mixer on low, slowly add reserved flour mixture. Mix until just  combined.<\/li>\n<li> Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape into 2 discs, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.<\/li>\n<li> Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.<\/li>\n<li> On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1\/8-inch  thickness. Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to prepared baking  sheets, leaving an inch in between. Leftover dough can be rolled and cut  once more. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes; do not allow to  brown.
