Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a more tender cookie.
  • Chill the cookie 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 a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create crispy edges and a soft, chewy center.
  • Garnish the cookies with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before baking for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
