Notes
- These don't spread very much. So if you use a cookie scoop to make them, flatten them slightly before baking.
- Use ungreased baking sheets. There is no need for parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Soften the butter by leaving it at room temperature for an hour before starting.
- Use store-bought frosting if you don't want to make homemade.
