- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking. This will give the cookies a nice sparkle.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
