Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best results.
  • Consider adding nutmeg or ginger for extra spice.
  • Do not overbake to ensure a soft center.
  • Allow adequate cooling time for cookies to firm up.
  • For a fun twist, use cookie cutters for festive shapes.
  • For chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least an hour before baking.
  • If dough is too dry, add milk a tablespoon at a time.
  • Can add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.
  • Cookies are done when edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
