Using a cookie sheet with a non-stick surface or a liner of foil, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickess on the cookie sheet.  Place the large star patter on the dough andmark around it with a knife.  REmove the pattern and cut aqay the dough that s urrounds the star.  Prepare the two smaller stars on a seond cooke sheet, leaving at leat 2 inches between cookies.

Cook as directed by dough manufacturer, but watch the timing carefully, due to the largeness of the cookies they will probably need an additional 2 to 3 minutes to brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven.  Immediately make a hole in the center by using the bottle cap as a cutter.  Allow the cookies to cool on the pan.  Using melted wax, stand the candle in the center of your dish.  Slide the cookies, biggest first, over the candle.
