- Heat oven to 325 °F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment, nonstick foil or reusable nonstick liners. On floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll out 1 disk at a time (keep other refrigerated) to a scant 1/4-in. thickness. Using floured 2 1/4-in. round fluted cutters, cut out about 16 rounds (reroll dough scraps). Move rounds to a prepared baking sheet, 1 in. apart.

- Bake 14 to 16 minutes until edges are light golden. Cool cookies completely on wire rack. Roll and bake eat well remaining dough.
- With a small, flat paintbrush, lightly brush the face of the cookies with pearl dust until shimmering.
