Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed butter.
The key to these cookies is not to brown them, watch them carefully.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their delicate texture.
For a festive touch, dust the cooled cookies with additional confectioners' sugar.
