Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake, as this will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
