Notes
Recipe inspired from Natasha's Kitchen.
- Chilling the Dough. It's important to shape the dough into a 2-inch-thick disk before chilling. This allows all of the dough to get nice and cold.
- Minimum 3 Hours Chill Time. Don't rush the chilling process. 3 hours is the minimum chilling time if you want those classic cracks in your cookies.
- Parchment Paper. I highly recommend it to make the cookies easier to remove from the baking sheet and cleanup a ton easier.
- Serving Ideas. These are delicious with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee or tea. They also make a great addition to a larger holiday dessert table or cookie box with sweet favorites like these peppermint cookies, gingerbread cake, and this cranberry raspberry pie.
