For a richer flavor, use butter-flavored shortening. Ensure the shortening is at room temperature for easier creaming. If the dough is too soft to roll, chill it for an additional 30 minutes. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
