Notes
Plain flour: This is also called all-purpose flour outside the UK.
Chill the dough: Make sure you follow the instructions to chill the dough in the fridge for at least an hour before you cook them. This is what helps give them their shape!
Baking time: Always keep an eye on your cookies in the oven, especially when it comes towards the end of the suggested cooking time. All ovens are different and yours might take less/more time until they’re just right.
Quantity: This recipe makes enough to make about 12 large cookies, so if you’d prefer them smaller, simply portion the dough out into smaller pieces to make more.
To make ahead: Make a quick batch of dough, then freeze the cookies unbaked in a bag. You can then pop them in the oven when you fancy. Just add a little more cooking time.
Storing: Keep the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
