Tips & tricks
  1. I always regret not making two batches of these yummies cookies because the recipe doesn’t make enough… especially considering how much Melissa loves them. However, don’t be tempted to simply double the recipe. Make the dough 2 separate times because a doubling is too much for a mixer to evenly distribute the flour and butter.
