Tips:

  • Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
