For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour. The chilling time is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
