Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
Use a large cookie scoop for even sizes and bakery-style thickness.
Keep frosting ingredients slightly chilled for swirls that hold their shape.
For more depth of flavor, add a splash of almond extract or swap in butter-vanilla flavoring.
Freeze unfrosted cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months; frost after thawing.
