Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
FAQS
Can I use a different type of sugar?
While icing sugar (powdered sugar) is recommended for its fine texture, you can substitute with granulated sugar. However, the texture of the cookies might be slightly different.
Can I add chocolate chips or nuts to the cookies?
Yes, you can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other mix-ins to the dough before shaping the cookies. Adjust the quantity to your preference.
How do I store the cookies to keep them fresh?
Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. Shape the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I use instead of vanilla extract?
You can use almond extract, lemon extract, or any other flavor extract that you prefer. Alternatively, you can use a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, comforting flavor.
