Notes
- Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough for up to three months. Just form the dough balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.
- Pairing: Try pairing these cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
- Flavor Variations: Consider adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a delightful crunch.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.
- Holiday Twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a seasonal flavor that’s perfect for the holidays.
