I am
a big fan of buttery cookies, and these cookies are one of my favorites. I love how these cookies just melt in your mouth! These can be made just as they are, or you can switch them up by adding cinnamon to give it a different twist. These make a perfect treat for any occasion! I’m really glad I found this recipe and hope you can enjoy it as much as I did.
