For best results, use high-quality butter and extracts. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading during baking. Roll the dough out evenly for uniform baking. Avoid overbaking the cookies to maintain their soft texture. These cookies are delightful on their own or decorated with royal icing, sprinkles, or sanding sugar.
