  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened

Notes

NOTE: My cookies took longer to bake. I think they took closer to 17 minutes.
 
NOTE: It is imperative that the butter be just softened, not melted for this recipe. Melting the butter changes the whole texture of the cookie. If that happens, chill dough for an hour in the refrigerator before rolling into balls.
