Note

Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Variations: For a richer flavor, substitute the margarine with unsalted butter. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.

Tips: Ensure the margarine is softened but not melted for the best texture. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before dropping onto the baking sheet.

Safety: Be careful when handling hot baking sheets. Use oven mitts to remove trays from the oven.
