For a festive touch, roll the cookies in granulated sugar or decorate with sprinkles before baking. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it soften slightly before rolling. Use high-quality extracts for the best flavor. For a nutty variation, add 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough.
