FAQ
Q: Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
A: It's best to use unsalted butter for these cookies to control the amount of salt. However, if you only have salted butter, you can omit any added salt from the recipe.
Q: Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?
A: Powdered sugar gives these cookies their delicate texture, so it’s best to use it. Regular granulated sugar may change the texture and result in a less melt-in-your-mouth cookie.
Q: How can I make the dough easier to handle if it’s too crumbly?
A: If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a tiny bit of milk (about 1 teaspoon at a time) until it comes together. Just be careful not to add too much liquid.
