Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture for your cookies.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting, as this will help the ingredients blend together more easily.
  • Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown, as overbaking will dry them out.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
