Tips:
- Use high-quality butter. This will give your cookies a richer flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making your cookies light and tender.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
