Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help the butter crisp up in the oven and prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and crispy.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and become crispy.
