FAQ
1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
It’s best to use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the dough, but if you only have salted butter, just reduce the added salt by half.

2. Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance, shape the cookies into balls, and freeze them. Bake the frozen dough balls straight from the freezer, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time.

3. How can I make the cookies more lemony?
For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add more lemon zest or increase the lemon juice slightly.
