Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the fridge. Do not use melted or softened butter. This would cause the cookies to spread too thin.
- Mix butter and sugar until no clumps of butter remain. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
- Cookie dough will be thick.
- Add as much or as little red food coloring as desired. Add slowly.
- Use hands to flatten cookie dough balls before baking.
- Bake only until cookies are barely set in the middle.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
