Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie right after baking. To keep cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature; they’ll last for up to a week. You can freeze the dough in balls and bake them directly from frozen, just increase the baking time by a couple of minutes. Measuring flour correctly is crucial; spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off for best results.
