Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Biscoito Champagne cookies turn out perfectly every time:

- Don’t overmix the dough; it should be just combined for the best texture.
- Experiment with different extracts like almond or lemon for a unique twist.
- For a fun variation, add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough!
- Keep an eye on the cookies while baking; they can go from perfect to overdone quickly!
