For a crispier cookie cool on spread newspaper or brown bag to absorb and extra oil.

Tips:

To make sure your Angel Crisp Cookies turn out perfectly, use room temperature butter and eggs.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding in the eggs. This will help to ensure that the cookies are tender and chewy.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
