Notes
This recipe makes approximately 4 dozen cookies.
Store the cookies in an air-tight container. I usually frost them as needed, and not all at once because it's easier to store unfrosted cookies in a ziplock bag or Tupperware.
You can freeze these cookies BEFORE frosting them in a ziplock freezer bag if you wish.
