Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Toddy Cookies turn out perfectly every time:

• Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour; this will keep your cookies tender.
• Experiment with different mix-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a gourmet touch!
• If you prefer a softer cookie, take them out of the oven a minute or two early.
• For a fun twist, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for extra flavor.

For storage, keep your Toddy Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
