Tips

  1. 1

    Slicing the butter thinly makes it soften more easily.

  2. 2

    The egg white is delicious when baked into an egg white bake.

  3. 3

    Be careful not to overwork the dough, as it will become hard.

  4. 4

    Adding a small amount of milk makes the dough come together more easily.

  5. 5

    The cookies are soft when freshly baked but firm up as they cool.
