To make sure the cookies are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
To make the cookies even more festive, you can decorate them with sprinkles, colored sugar, or even edible glitter.
