For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the cookie dough. The syrup should be hot when dipping the cookies for optimal absorption. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft texture. For a citrus boost, add 1 teaspoon of orange extract to the cookie dough.
