Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For best results, ensure the butter is properly softened before creaming. It should be soft enough to easily indent with your finger, but not melted.
Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Don't skip this step!
Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as lemon or peppermint, for a unique flavor twist.
For a festive touch, use colored sugars or sprinkles to decorate the cookies.
Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
