For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the butter mixture. If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping. For a festive twist, use cookie cutters to create different shapes before baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
