Notities

These cookies crisp up beautifully. In order to retain the crispness, crisp cookies should always be stored covered loosely with plastic wrap or in a cookie jar with a loose fitting lid. Airtight storage containers will make your crisp cookies soften. It's not necessary, but refrigerate the dough for about an hour if you have the time. I usually make my cookie doughs in advance and refrigerate them as I find that softer dough is a little easier to work with when refrigerated.
