Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies turn out light and fluffy.
  • Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to keep their shape.
