How to change texture of cookie

Toast

Hi all. I have a traditional rainbow cookie recipe I like to make. I am trying to experiment with some different styles of the cookie. I want to make the cookie into different shapes. Should I change the recipe to do this for it to hold shape ? Thanks 

sharing a version of your recipe here? Usually a lil bit of flour would firm up the shaped cookie.Also are you planning on piping or cutting the cookie dough?

Thanks Christi! I’m looking to make the traditional Italian rainbow cookie but just shaping them differently, like in a small heart shape.
