Just the recipe.
Nothing else.

Growing up in my grandmother's kitchen, the smell of fresh-baked cookies was always in the air. I remember being five years old, standing on my tippy-toes...

My grandmother would always say, "The secret is love, dear." But between you and me, it's also about room temperature butter...

When I got married in 2008, the first thing I did was bake these cookies. My husband knew right then! 😂

Now, every Christmas, my kids and I bake these together. Emma helped measure the flour all by herself last year!

Before we get to the recipe, let me tell you about the time I almost burned down the kitchen for my son's bake sale...

That was back in 2015. I set the oven to 450°F instead of 350°F! The smoke alarm woke up the whole neighborhood...

Speaking of bake sales, did I ever tell you about the time my daughter won first place? It was 2019, and she had just turned 4...

Okay, okay, I know you're here for the recipe! Just one more quick story about my kitchen renovation last summer...

So anyway, the kitchen renovation took 3 months. We chose white marble countertops - they're gorgeous but so hard to maintain!

My husband still jokes about the time I made him taste-test 47 different cookie batches. That was a fun weekend! 🍪

Speaking of weekends, let me share a quick tip about storing your cookies. My grandmother always used these special tins...

I actually bought those same tins on Amazon last year. I'll link them below if you're interested (affiliate link, of course!)

One more thing before the recipe - make sure your butter is at room temperature. This is SO important and I cannot stress it enough...

Finally! Here's the recipe you've been scrolling for...
