Notes
Storage
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Wrap the cookies in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
- Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Mix your dough ingredients until they are combined, but don't overmix them. As soon as everything is moist and uniform, you're done. Overmixing makes the cookies tough.
- It's always a good idea to bring your cold ingredients to room temperature when baking. It ensures uniform mixing and prevents overmixing.
- If you forget to soften your butter, place the sticks in a bowl of warm water to soften quickly.
- A hand mixer makes it easy to mix the dough. I highly recommend it!
