Notes

  • Mix Just Until Combined: Overmixing the dough can affect the cookies' soft texture.
  • Cool Before Serving: Let the cookies cool completely so they hold their shape and the centers finish setting.
  • Serve with Milk or Coffee: These cookies pair well with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee.
  • Dress Up for Special Occasions: Arrange them on a dessert platter or package them as homemade gifts for holidays and celebrations.
