Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will result in dry, crumbly cookies. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help prevent the cookies from sticking together.
