Notes
Storage
- They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- They can be frozen in an airtight container or a ziplock bag for up to a year.
- Don't overwork the dough. Especially when mixing in eggs and flour mixtures, just mix enough to combine thoroughly.
- Don't overbake the cookies. The centers will be soft when removing from the oven. As long as the edges are firm and light brown, the centers will firm up as they sit and cool on the baking sheet.
- To soften butter, it can be kept at room temperature for about an hour. Or, can be cut into chunks to soften faster.
