Notes
- "Cool room temperature" means that the butter should dent slightly when pressed. If it doesn't dent when pressed, it's too cold. If it smooshes, it's too warm.
- Be sure to properly measure the flour to avoid dry, crumbly cookies. Either Sift or stir the flour, lightly spoon into the measuring cup, and then level off.
- Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt.
