Tips & Tricks
Feel free to decorate these cookies with sugar, glazes, and sprinkles. Add the sprinkles and coarse sugar before popping in the oven or dip half of a cookie into a chocolate glaze mix.
Do chill these before baking since this prevents them from overspreading and becoming flat. You can even freeze them until completely firm and bake them at a later time.
