Notes

Measure your flour carefully for the best results. Chill the dough if it's sticky to make it easier to work with. For unique shapes, use cookie cutters instead of cutting rectangles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to two months. You can experiment with different nut butters or sweeteners for added flavor and health benefits!
