Notes
- Storage – Keep cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Measure correctly – Use measuring cups and spoons. For dry ingredients, scoop and level with a knife for accuracy.

- Flatten before baking – This dough won’t spread, so press each cookie down for the best shape.
