Step 2
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheet.
Step 3
On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies on prepared cookie sheet. Brush with beaten egg yolks and decorate with sprinkles.
Step 4
Bake in preheated oven until golden at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool cookies on racks.
