2 cups all-purpose flour

Stir in the remaining flour.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour;
Split the dough in 1/2 and roll one half at a time. Cut out with Valentine cookie cutters.
Keep the piece you aren't using in the fridge.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for about 7 to 8 minutes, until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned (don't over cook).
Everything in my house is cooked at 325 degrees F and these are no exception *laugh*
