Tips:
- To ensure perfectly chewy cookies, make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough helps to solidify the fats, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- For a crispier cookie, reduce the chilling time to 15 minutes. This will allow the cookies to spread more in the oven, resulting in a crispier texture.
- If you don't have any parchment paper, you can grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray. However, parchment paper is the best option as it prevents the cookies from sticking to the pan and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to your cookies, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
- Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 2 months.
