  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.
