Notes
- For room temperature, remove from the fridge 30-60 minutes before using.
- Chill the dough while the oven is pre-heating 15-20 minutes, this will help the cookies to rise more rather than spread.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, store them in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for a couple of days or you can freeze them for up to a month.
