What cookies are made from a firm dough flattened into sheet before portioning?

Cookies made from a firm dough flattened into a sheet before portioning are often called rolled cookies.

Here are some examples of rolled cookies:

* Shortbread: A buttery, crumbly cookie that is often cut into shapes.

* Sugar Cookies: A classic cookie that is typically decorated with frosting or sprinkles.

* Gingerbread Cookies: A spiced cookie that is often decorated with icing.

* Peanut Butter Cookies: A rich and nutty cookie that is often rolled in sugar.

* Snickerdoodles: A soft and chewy cookie that is rolled in cinnamon sugar.

The process of rolling out the dough allows for even baking and helps to create a consistent shape and size for the cookies.
