Looks delicious! I will have to try this recipe. I do have a good shortcut. Before putting your dough in the fridge, Place it between two large sheets of parchment paper and the go ahead and roll the dough out to 1/4” thick. DO NOT remove the parchment paper! Slide the dough onto your cookie sheet and put it in the fridge to chill. It’s so much faster than rolling out hard dough. :) Hope you find this useful!
I have found that if I sprinkle the surface with a mixture of flour and powdered sugar that the cookies are more tender. This is especially helpful with the scraps of dough that get rerolled several times,
