Ingredients

Preparation

  4. Take small portions of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For optimal texture, let your butter soften at room temperature for about an hour. Chill the dough if it's too sticky. Avoid overbaking to retain the melt-in-your-mouth texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
