Tips:

  • Use the best quality butter you can find. The flavor of the butter will come through in the cookies, so it's worth it to splurge on a good brand.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies spread less and keep their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
