Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy dough.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out and baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Do not overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
