Default Handy Tip for Cutout Cookies

I had always shied away from cut out cookie recipes, because I had trouble either rolling out the dough or it sticking and not transfering to the sheet well. The grands are coming tomorrow for cookie baking, so I decided try to make a few cutout to decorate. I made up the dough as usual, divided it into three parts and rolled out each part between sheets of waxed paper, before chilling. Transferred the paper-wrapped dough to a pizza pan and then chilled it for a few hours. Removed top sheet and cut out the shapes without any problem and transferred them easily to the baking sheets. Baked as usual. Wow. Made it so easy, didn't over flour and came out great. Perhaps you already know this trick, and I'm coming late to the fair (!), but just wanted to share in case you were in the same boat as I was!
