Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
- The cold butter prevents the cookies from spreading too thin.
- Beat butter and sugar until no clumps of butter remain. If needed, stop mixing and scrape down sides of bowl with spatula. Then continue mixing.
- The cookie dough batter will be pretty thick.
- These cookies do not spread much while baking. Therefore, flatten each ball of dough slightly before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
- These cookies are great refrigerated too!
