For best results, use high-quality butter. The flavor will shine through in the finished cookies. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading during baking and ensuring they hold their shape. If the dough becomes too stiff to press easily, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Parchment paper is highly recommended for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. Experiment with different cookie press discs to create a variety of shapes and designs.
