Notes

  • Cool room temperature means the butter should be about 65F. The butter should dent when pressed but shouldn't be warm or smooshy.
  • Measuring the flour correctly is key for this recipe! The flour is given in grams because it's so important. If you don't weigh ingredients, the approximate measurement in cups is given. To measure the flour in cups, sift the flour, lightly spoon into the measuring cup, and then level. If you pack in the flour, the cookies will be dry and crumbly. 
  • The number of cookies you get from this recipe will vary depending on the size of the cookie cutter used.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
