- Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Notes
- For added flavor, mix in chocolate chips, nuts (like walnuts or pecans), or raisins.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to bring some warm spices to your cookies.
- To make a vegan version, swap the butter with a plant-based butter and ensure the sugar is vegan-friendly.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze cookies for up to 2 months by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freezing until solid, and then transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container.
