Notes
- As written, this recipe makes 6 large cookies. You can easily double it for more!
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
- Beat the butter and sugar until no clumps of butter remain. This takes my stand mixer 2 to 3 minutes on high.
- The cookie dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop the balls of dough.
- Do not over bake! Bake only until edges of cookies are lightly golden.
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Cookies freeze well.
