For a richer flavor, use butter instead of margarine. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. Experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique twist. These cookies are traditionally served during special occasions, such as weddings and holidays.
