NOTES
- Don’t skip the chilling step. Otherwise, the cookies will flatten when baking.
- These cookies do look pale when they are baked, so don’t tend to over-bake them.
- After removing the cookies from the oven, make sure they sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer on a wire rack to let them cool completely.
