For the best texture, ensure your butter is properly softened before creaming.
Don't overmix the dough once you add the flour, as this can lead to tough cookies.
If you don't have a cookie press, you can pipe the dough using a pastry bag with a large tip, or even roll out the dough and use cookie cutters (chill the dough first if rolling).
These cookies are delicate, so handle them with care when transferring them from the baking sheet.
