Notes
The cookies came out crispy but softened up the longer they were around (which wasn't long!)
If you like chewy cookies bake a shorter amount of time. I also used parchment paper but a regular cookie sheet is fine.
Chill until you're able to shape dough. I put in freezer to save a little time!
