Notes
- Use cold butter right from your fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
- Use one egg yolk, not the whole egg. Discard or set aside egg white for another use.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work well.
- This recipe makes 4 large cookies or 6 medium sized cookies.
- Place dough balls at least 3 inches apart. These cookies spread while baking.
- Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month.
