Tips:

  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you get evenly sized cookies. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the way the 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 just until they are set.
