For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips to the dough. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep a close eye on the cookies to prevent burning. For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour accurately. If the dough is too soft to slice cleanly, return it to the refrigerator for a longer chilling period.
