Tips & Tricks
Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to roll out and cut into shapes.
For added flavor, consider adding a small piece of quince paste, sweet potato paste, or chocolate in the center of each cookie before baking.
Dust the cookies with powdered sugar only after they have completely cooled to prevent it from melting.
