Comment

  • Next time we can try reducing the butter (perhaps by adding more flour and lemon juice) to make it healthier.
  • 2nd try: Reduced sugar by 12g and it still tastes very good. Reduced the baking time to 12 minutes and it's slightly under; changed the recipe to 15 minutes. Also rolled it out to a sheet and used cookie cutters instead of slice-and-bake, which is simultaneously more effort and more fun. (Also adjusted the entire recipe to use 56g butter to make it half a stick.
  • 1st try: We baked for 20 minutes and it's way overcooked, borderline burnt. Changed the recipe to 12 minutes
