Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter at room temperature for the best results. This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
  • Measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • 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.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Cool the cookies on a wire rack before serving. This will help them set and prevent them from becoming too soft.
