    Everyone is telling you too much butter, but if this only happened to part of your batch, it’s more likely you didn’t scrape the sides of your bowl while mixing.

    When mixing anything with creamed butter, especially, you need to mix about a third of the time, scrape all the sides and fold the dough, mix, scrape, mix, and do a final scrape/ mix/ fold by hand to make sure all the butter is incorporated.

    Stand mixers have this problem more than hand mixers.

      This is the right answer, when using a stand mixer you want to keep the speed level low (after creaming the butter/sugar/milk) and scraping the sides down to ensure an even distribution of wets/drys. Chilling can help with maintaining a shape, but it’s by no means mandatory. How did they taste? 😁
