For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the dough for a delightful twist. Sprinkle the cookies with colored sugar or sanding sugar before baking for a festive touch. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
