Now, for the bulk of this tutorial, I want to refer you to Callye's blog, Sweet Sugarbelle. I followed her tutorial pretty much to the letter. I love how Callye's cookie brain works.
I did hand-cut the cookies into triangles, that's what the bench scraper is for. You could also use a knife or a pizza cutter.
