OK, so I'm the mom ... and my daughter now has inherited and taken possession of the world's best cutout cookie! The dough can be very dense if you don't measure out the flour right. I suggest using a teaspoon to fill your measuring cup with flour and level it off. If you simply scoop the cup in the flour it gets packed down and then you end up with too much flour and a heavy dough. If you measure it out properly, you will get a soft dough. Refrigeration will make it hard...maybe even too hard so you'll have to let it sit at room temp for a while. Don't roll them out too thin or they'll break when you frost them. Store in a tin to keep them crisp. They are the best...truly!
