Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients for best results. This will help the dough come together more easily and prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. If the dough is too thin, the cookies will be crispy. If the dough is too thick, the cookies will be cakey.
- Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake, or the cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
