Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help the ingredients mix together more smoothly and create a creamier cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure that all of your cookies are the same size. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
