Notes
For a fun twist, add a pinch of almond extract along with the vanilla. It will elevate the flavor! Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. For mini cookies, reduce the baking time by 1-2 minutes for perfect bite-sized treats.
