Notes

Make sure you refrigerate your dough for at least 2 hours for best results.

Make sure you coat the cookie dough ball really well in the powdered sugar.

You can also melt your butter in a large bowl in the microwave instead of on the stovetop.

I like to cut the baking time down to 8 minutes for a fudgy texture. Bake for 10 minutes for a cake-like center.
