Notes

Storage: Up to 1 week in an airtight container and up to 3 months in the freezer.

• If you don't have baking soda, you can use a whole packet of baking powder instead.
• Use a large round cookie cutter around the cookies when they come out of the oven to give them a nice round shape.
• For best results, let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or even overnight if possible; they will be even more flavorful and larger.
