Notes
- Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft to work with, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Adjust the Drizzle: You can adjust the consistency of the drizzle by adding more milk for a thinner consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure that your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the best results.
