  • Creaming Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the mixture and achieve a chewy texture in your cookies.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps to develop the flavor, prevent spreading, and result in thicker, more defined cookies.
  • Baking Cookies Evenly: Use a baking mat or parchment paper on your baking sheets to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through the baking time for consistent browning.
  • Storing Cookies Properly: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage. Freezing cookies allows you to enjoy them whenever you crave a sweet treat.
