FAQ
Q: Can I make this without yeast?
A: Yeast gives the cookies a soft, layered texture, but you can try baking powder (1½ tsp) as a quick alternative — the texture will be different.
Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
A: Yes, but butter gives a richer, more melt-in-your-mouth taste.
Q: Why is my dough too sticky?
A: Add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
