Tips:
- Be cautious not to overbake the cookies; they may appear underdone due to the high butter content, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Experiment with adding your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit, for extra flavor and texture.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm and gooey treat.
