Notes
- * How to measure flour properly: Use a kitchen scale to measure flour for accurate results every time. If you don't have a kitchen scale, use the spoon and level method. Stir the flour (especially if it's been packed down in a bag/container), then gently spoon into the measuring cup, leveling off the top with a knife. Scooping with a measuring cup compacts flour into the cup and adds up to 25% extra to the recipe, resulting in dry, bland cookies that don't spread properly.

- Storage: Cookies will keep for 5-7 days in a sealed container. To help keep cookies fresh, place a slice of bread in the container and replace as needed. Cookies can be frozen up to 3 months in a sealed plastic container or freezer bag.
