Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cookies bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help your cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make your cookies dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
