Serving Suggestions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing the dough can lead to tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
• Not spacing the cookies enough can result in them merging together during baking. Ensure a 2-inch gap.
• Using cold butter can make it harder to achieve the desired creamy texture. Always soften the butter first.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer freshness, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They can be reheated in the oven for a warm treat later.
