RECIPE TIPS FOR CHRISTMAS COOKIES
1. Place the oven rack in the middle. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around the cookies, resulting in even cooking.
2. When placing the cookies on the parchment paper, leave some distance between them so they don't stick to each other when they start baking.
3. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies in the oven for another 5 minutes.
