Notes
Serve the cookies warm with a cold glass of milk or enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Make sure your butter is soft for easy mixing and avoid over-mixing after adding flour to keep them soft.
