Cooking Tips

1. When room temperature is low, butter can be difficult to soften. You can microwave for ten seconds or use a hairdryer to soften. 2. Refrigerated dough will be harder; kneading it by hand multiple times will soften it, making it easier to shape. 3. Since the cookies are round, lower temperature and longer baking time will ensure they are fully cooked inside. Leave them in the oven to bake with residual heat.
