How do you make cut out cookies shaped like things?!

Question: I have the cut outs but I'm wondering, do I need to make the dough from scratch or can I buy the premade stuff and flatten it out and then cut the shapes out or is there some kind of special cookie cutter trick?

Make it from scratch or buy pre-made -- dip the cutters in flour to make it easier,

You can buy the pre made stuff and roll it out.

you can buy the dough and roll it out, but I like the homeade dough better and always use real butter when making cookies....it makes all the difference.

Like everyone said, buy the pre made stuff
