Notes
How do I store them? Once your cookies have cooled, arrange them gently in layers within the airtight container, placing a sheet of parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.
What if I don't have a cookie press? If you don't have a cookie press, you can roll out the dough and use cookie cutters.
