Tips & Substitutions

When mixing the butter and sugar, ensure they are creamy for the best texture. For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have vanilla sugar, using an extra splash of vanilla extract is a perfect substitute. Keep an eye on the cookies while baking, as different ovens can vary in temperature, affecting the baking time.
