Tips:
- Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar; this will help the cookies spread less and keep their shape better.
- Don't overmix the dough; overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking; this will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape; this will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown; overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container; this will help them stay crispy.
Conclusion:
These crisp sugar cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and can be decorated in any way you like. Whether you're looking for a classic Christmas cookie or a simple snack, these cookies are sure to please.
