- If you have a stand mixer, use it to mix your dough.
- Otherwise, get ready for some manual labor.
- Mix all your ingredients for the dough, and make sure the butter is well-distributed.
- Form into a ball, wrap loosely with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for about an hour.
- Make a bunch of little balls that are roughly the same size I usually get 20-24 balls out of this dough recipe roll them into 3-4 inch circles and lay them out on baking sheets lined with wax paper without overlapping them.
- Stick them back into the fridge (or freezer) until you're ready to use them.
