For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content. The dough can be made ahead of time and chilled for up to 24 hours. Allow it to soften slightly before rolling. Dust the cookies with powdered sugar after they've cooled for an extra touch of sweetness. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
