For a softer cookie, slightly underbake them. They will continue to set as they cool. If the dough becomes too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique flavor twist.
