Notes
- If you have a stand mixer, I recommend using it for this recipe in order to cream the butter and sugar mixture well. Use the paddle attachment.
- These make 24 large cookies. You can make them smaller and bake for a minute or two less if you'd like.
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
