- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and makes it easier to handle. This will also help the cookies to keep their shape in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set in the center, about 10-12 minutes.
