🌈 Variations & Pro Hacks

🌱 Gluten-Free? Swap flour for 1:1 GF blend — works beautifully

🧊 Make-Ahead Magic: Dough keeps 3 days in fridge or 3 months in freezer — bake from frozen (+1–2 mins)

❄️ Freeze Baked Cookies: Reheat in toaster oven for fresh-from-the-oven taste

🍯 Brown Sugar Twist: Replace half the granulated sugar with brown sugar for deeper flavor

🧁 Mini Version: Use a teaspoon for bite-sized treats — bake 8–9 mins

🧈 Extra Buttery? Brush warm cookies with melted butter and roll in more cinnamon sugar

🧠 Why This Works So Well

Egg yolk only = richer, more tender crumb (less moisture than whole egg)

Cinnamon sugar coating = crispy-spiced exterior with soft interior

No chill time = faster results without spreading too much

High butter content = melt-in-your-mouth texture

It’s not magic — it’s cookie wisdom passed down through kitchens everywhere. ✨
