Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
For best results, ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. This will help create a tender crumb.
Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps and ensures a smooth dough.
If your dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before using the cookie press.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
