For a festive touch, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
Chilling the dough before rolling makes it easier to handle and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
These cookies freeze well, both before and after baking. Freeze unbaked dough in a log, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Slice and bake as needed. Freeze baked cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag for longer storage.

May 2, 2025Rolling the dough thin is key! I made them a little too thick the first time, and they weren't quite as good.
