Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tough cookies.
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it comes together.
- If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it becomes workable.
- Let the cookies cool completely before handling them, as they will be very fragile when warm.
