For a festive touch, use colored sanding sugar instead of confectioners' sugar for rolling. Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should be soft and slightly underbaked for the best texture. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
