FAQS
What type of butter should I use for the best results?
Unsalted butter is recommended to control the overall salt content of the cookies. Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
Can I use regular sugar instead of icing sugar?
Icing sugar is preferred as it creates a smoother texture. If you use regular sugar, the cookies might have a slightly grainy texture.
What can I use instead of ruby callets for decoration?
You can use chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder as alternatives.
How should I store these cookies to keep them fresh?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before baking.
