Tips:

Use light brown sugar for a softer cookie, and dark brown sugar for a chewier cookie.
Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, or the cookies will spread too much.
Roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for a sparkly finish.
Bake the cookies until they are just set, or they will be dry.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
