- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. If you'd like to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to three months. Don’t over-mix the dough and use room-temperature butter for the best texture.
