For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of almond extract along with the vanilla. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up. These cookies are delicious plain, but feel free to decorate them with a light icing or sprinkles once they've cooled.
