For a richer flavor, try using browned butter-flavored shortening. Don't overmix the dough; overmixing will develop the gluten and result in tougher cookies. For best results, use a high-quality Mexican vanilla extract. If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
