Tips:
- Use room temperature butter. This will help the cookies cream together more easily and result in a more tender cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming crumbly.
