For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the cookie dough. The dough can be made ahead and chilled for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature slightly before rolling. Vary the extract flavors to your liking. Almond or maple extract would be delicious additions. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
