    • Hi Daniella,

      Please use room temperature butter. (allow the butter to sit out on the counter for about 2 hours)
      Room temperature butter is about 65 to 67 F.
      You can test using your finger. It should make an indent and not slide down into the butter.
      And yes, this recipe is lovely and 100% success.
      Thank you for visiting 5 star cookies

    • Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. (for about 3 months)
      Also, baked cookies can be frozen. (without filling and icing)
      Thank you for stopping by.
