Step 9: Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store the butter cookies in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Experiment with different cookie cutter shapes for various occasions.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of cream or milk to the dough.
- If you prefer, you can chill the dough overnight for even more flavor development.
