Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- Grate the lemon zest finely to avoid any large pieces in the cookies.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Use a cookie cutter to shape the biscuits uniformly for even baking.
- Watch the biscuits closely while baking to avoid overcooking; they should be slightly golden on the edges.
