  6. Preheat oven to 350F (180C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
  8. Cut out cookies with floured cookie cutters and place on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Put in refrigerate to chill for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Bake cookies 12-14 minutes.
  10. Let cool on sheets for about 5 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  11. Make icing:
  12. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff.
  13. Add sugar and limoncello and beat for a minute.
  14. If the icing is too thin, add more sugar; if it is too thick, add more limoncello.
  15. Pipe icing onto completely cooled cookies.
  16. Enjoy!
