Notes
- Flour- Be sure to spoon and level flour, following my easy tips on how to measure flour. This helps prevent tough cookies.
- IMPORTANT- These cookies have a simple ingredient list. However, in order to enhance the flavor, but sure to use high quality butter, vanilla, and chocolate.
- STORAGE: Use parchment or wax paper between the layers of cookies to prevent them from sticking together. Keep cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- FREEZE: After cooling, freeze cookies in airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before serving.
