Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for butter that is at least 82% fat, and make sure your flour is fresh.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
