Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cookies the best flavor and texture. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will determine how well your cookies bake. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until they are just set and the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool before decorating: Let the cookies cool completely before you decorate them. This will help the frosting or icing to set properly.
