For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter. Add a pinch of lemon zest to the dough for a bright, citrusy note. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These cookies are best when allowed to cool completely before coating with confectioners' sugar. This helps the sugar adhere better.
