Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To make the cookies softer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. - Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape. - Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. - Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
