Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps the cookies to spread less and hold their shape better.
  • Use parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents the cookies from sticking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting them, otherwise the frosting will melt.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
