Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the dry ingredients, as too much or too little of one ingredient can throw off the balance of the cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cookies will be soft and gooey, while overbaked cookies will be hard and dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
