These are essentially drop cookies, so you won't be able to shape them before you bake them BUT if you're quick, you can cut them into shapes right after they come out of the oven. While they are still warm, very carefully use a cookie cutter over each cookie and wiggle it slightly to separate the cut out from the cookie. Then let them cool. When using this method you need to make sure that you are using a cookie cutter that is smaller than the cookie and you need to make sure the cookie isn't over cooked and still warm. It should be soft.
