For best results, ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique flavor. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before rolling out. To prevent the cookies from spreading, avoid overmixing the dough and ensure your baking sheets are cool before placing the cookies on them.
