Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a cookie press or roll the dough into balls and flatten them with a fork.
- For added flavour, you can sprinkle the cookies with a little sugar before baking or drizzle them with chocolate once cooled.
