You can add many different flavors to butter cookies to make them your own. Try an alternate type of citrus zest, or add an alternate liquid to change things up. —Sara Lark, Raton, New Mexico


Test Kitchen tips
  • Using parchment paper helps these buttery cookies hold their shape.
  • If your kitchen is warm, you might try refrigerating the piped cookie dough for about 10 minutes before baking to give them better definition.
  • The champagne flavor is mild, but the orange shines through. If you don’t have champagne, try sparkling cider or grape juice.
