I prefer to use unsalted butter in this recipe because it allows me to control the amount of salt. I also like to use a mix of white granulated sugar and brown sugar to give the cookies a deeper flavor. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a warm and cozy twist.
