Butter cookies

I did some cookies with my daughter on sunday afternoon. The recipe that I have taste very good but it is difficult to mold the shape because the dough will stick on the table. Some of my cookies is out of shape.
I also left some dough in the fridge for a while before cutting. It was much better but also stick , maybe next time I will try to keep in the fridge for a least 30 mins or more.
