For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter. For a more intense lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Experiment with different extracts such as almond or orange for a unique twist. If you are frosting the cookies, skip the sugar-coating step before baking.
