Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter. This will give your cookies a richer flavor and a more tender texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making your cookies lighter and more airy.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
