Notes
To ensure your Soft Christmas Cookies turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
– Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a better texture.
– Keep a close eye on the cookies to prevent them from becoming too crisp. Soft, chewy centers are the goal.
– Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft and fresh texture.
– Get creative with mix-ins like crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries.
