For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of softened butter. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and nuttiness. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
