  • Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • A cookie scoop helps ensure that all of the cookies are the same size, which helps them bake evenly.
  • The cookies are done baking when the edges are just starting to brown. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
