Notes
- Cake Flour: For the best results, use cake or pastry flour in this recipe. It produces a delicate texture. If you don't have cake flour, you can use this cake flour substitute.
- These cookies will keep at room temperature for up to 10 days. The raw cookie dough or cooked cookies will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- For best results, use unsalted butter.
- To ensure even slicing, chill the dough. The dough can be chilled for several days or frozen for later.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for a crunchy twist!
