- To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For a fun and festive twist, sprinkle colored sugar on the cookies before baking.
