Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will yield the best-tasting cookies.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is essential for achieving the correct texture and flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them lighter and more tender.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature: If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through properly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
