- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting cookies. Look for high-quality butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them to get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.
