For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality butter. Cold butter is crucial for creating a tender, flaky cookie.
Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Don't overbake the cookies, as they will continue to firm up as they cool. Aim for a light golden brown color around the edges.
Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, to customize the flavor.
