For a richer flavor, try using butter-flavored shortening. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before rolling can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique twist.
