Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies spread and give them a tender texture.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating. This will help the frosting set properly.
