  the flour mixture and butter, continue to beat until almost combined, add the
  chocolate chips (or chopped nuts) and mix 1 minute.

  in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour. 
• 4 Remove the dough from the fridge and roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness,
  cut out rounds with a cookie cutter or roll into a golf ball size, and flatten
