  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  8. If desired, press a maraschino cherry half into the center of each cookie or decorate with festive sprinkles.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
