Help! My dough won't stick together!

Sometimes you need to add a little extra butter...start with a tablespoon, work it in well, and add a little more if you need it.

My refrigerated dough is a little crumbly - is this okay?

Yep! Once you start rolling the dough into balls, it will hold together fine. Some might need a little more rolling than others.

Can I make these ahead of time?

As with all baked treats, they are best enjoyed the same day, but I promise they will still be super delicious for a few days after. If they last that long!

Press down slightly with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack. Shake powdered sugar over the top (I like to do this by putting the sugar in a small fine mesh strainer and shake-shake-shaking over the top of the cookies!).
Immediately bring the first one to someone you love and give it to them with a kiss.
