3. Roll out thinly and cut into guinea pig shapes - allow your artistic imagination to run free!Put the cookies onto greased baking sheets

4. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F) - Gas Mark 4, for 20-30 minutesor until they're pale golden brown and smelling good. Carefully take the tray out of the oven and leave until they are completley cool and firm and ready for decorating.
