Chef's notes
This method skips the need to soften butter and chill dough in the refrigerator.
Rolling dough between parchment sheets avoids flour mess and makes it easier to handle.
The technique results in neat, sharp cookie shapes and easier cleanup.
The method may not work for every cookie recipe but is effective for many.
