Steps
- Do not skip the shortening. Cookies are difficult and years ago I learned the best predictable cookies always you both butter and shortening for predictability.
- I’d also use this rule for pie crust. I also add a small pinch of baking powder to the crusts. And add a table spoon of sugar to the crust dough. Makes it a bit more of a light cookie and not just bland dense crust.
- Also we’ll freeze the leftovers in a sandwich bag. I just score with a flat edge I yo 16 segments. It will be ready to bake or eat later.
