Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie press: This is the easiest way to get evenly shaped cookies. If you don't have a cookie press, you can also roll out the dough and cut it into shapes with a cookie cutter.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: They should be slightly soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them: This will help the frosting set properly.
