I'm always looking to bring a little Disney into my home and these were great. What I like about them is that they're not full of butter or shortening, there's only 4 tbsp total. I used butter instead of shortening. The dough was an absolute dream, SO easy to roll out. I will share a small secret, to combine your flour and butter quickly and without hurting your wrist, pop it all in your mixer bowl, use the paddle attachment and between med-slow speed for a few minutes, does an amazing job. I will definitely make these again.
