Notes
Storage: Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Spoon and level your flour: Flour should never be packed in a measuring cup unless you want a dense, dry cookie. Fluff up your flour before spooning it into your measuring cup and leveling it off.
Sift your powdered sugar: While this isn't required, it is recommended. Sifting your powdered sugar minimizes the chance of getting lumps in your icing.
Allow your ingredients come to room temperature: Large temperature differences in ingredients can lead to them not fully blending together and can lead to problems with the texture.
Use piping bags: To ice the cookies, I recommend using piping bags. However, you can also use a spoon or dunk the tops in the icing.
