  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350F.

Notes

MAKE IT DAIRY-FREE: Use vegan butter such as Earth Balance in place of the butter.
It is important to chill the dough so the cookies don't spread too much. I usually let mine sit for at least 3 hours or up to overnight. These cookies also turn out great made with Earth Balance Buttery Sticks instead of the butter to keep them totally dairy-free.
