Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. If your butter is too soft, it will make the dough greasy and difficult to work with.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps to dissolve the sugar, which will prevent the cookies from being grainy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling. If you add the eggs all at once, they may not mix in evenly and could cause the cookies to be tough.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. You should only mix the dough until the flour is just incorporated. If you overmix the dough, the gluten in the flour will develop and the cookies will be 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. You can also chill the dough for longer, up to overnight. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before baking.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help the cookies bake evenly. If you bake the cookies in an oven that is not preheated, they may not cook through properly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help the cookies set and prevent them from falling apart.

These butter cookies with chocolate are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a simple snack to a special holiday party.
