Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with your favorite Ann Clark cookie cutters, then transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until just barely browned around the edges. Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To decorate, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a microwave safe bowl, then stir in 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

Enjoy!
