Clever Tips for a Foolproof Recipe!
- Room Temperature Butter: Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for a smooth and fluffy cookie dough.
- Chill the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step! It helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents spreading while baking.
- Even Coloring: Add food coloring a little at a time until you achieve the desired shade of pink. Over-mixing can dull the color.
- Enhance Flavor: For a stronger strawberry or champagne flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of the respective extract. Adjust to taste!
- Sprinkle Magic: Roll the dough generously in pink sprinkles to ensure a vibrant and festive look.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake to avoid over-browning; they should just set but still be soft.
