Tips:

Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Use a rolling pin that is slightly chilled. This will also help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cookies will be too chewy. If the dough is too thin, the cookies will be too crispy.
Cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter of your choice. Be sure to flour the cookie cutter before cutting out the dough to prevent it from sticking.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart so that they have room to spread.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Goro cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little bit of planning, you can make these cookies ahead of time and freeze them for later. This makes them a great option for busy families or anyone who wants to have a homemade treat on hand.
