Notes
Chill dough or add a bit more flour (optional): I noticed right away that the recipe called for 2 cups (1 pound) of butter and only 4 cups of flour. Most recipes would call for 2 ¼-2 ½ cups of flour for that amount of butter, but I made them as written anyway. The cookies, as predicted, spread a little more than I wanted. The recipe does not state whether or not they chill the dough for the cookies served at the hotel. I'd imagine they do. I found that for a no-chill version, adding an extra ⅔ cup of flour is the sweet spot. That small adjustment helps the cookies keep their shape while still giving you the soft, chewy center. You can also make the cookies with the original amount of flour and chill the scooped dough for 1-2 hours before baking.
