Notes
Let the butter soften at room temperature so it's easy to mix.
This is a soft dough, but should not be sticky. You can add a little more flour if needed.
If dough is getting too soft when forming cookies, you can place in fridge to firm up.
All ovens are different. Cookies may take a little less time or a little more time to bake depending upon your oven.
