Notes and Variations
Storage: Store the glazed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week.
Glaze Consistency: If you prefer a thinner glaze, simply add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Butter: Make sure the butter is fully softened before mixing to ensure a smooth, even dough.
Sugar: While brown sugar creates a richer, chewier cookie, you can use white sugar if you prefer a lighter flavor.
Flour Measurement: Measure the flour using the spoon and level method or a food scale for accurate measurement, as too much flour can make the cookies dry.
Spices: For a different flavor profile, you can omit the cinnamon or substitute it with pumpkin pie spice for a more intense, autumnal taste.
