For best results, ensure the butter is properly softened but not melted. It should be pliable and hold its shape. If you don't have a cookie press, you can roll the dough out and use cookie cutters, but the texture may be slightly different. Feel free to add a touch of almond extract or lemon zest for a different flavor profile. These cookies can be decorated with sprinkles, icing, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar once cooled.
