🧁 Use gel food coloring instead of liquid for a vibrant red color without thinning the dough.
⚖️ Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off, or weigh 125 grams per cup for best texture.
🔄 After baking, place a round cookie cutter over each warm cookie and gently scoot to create perfect bakery-style circles.
