- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven is important for getting the right texture for your cookies. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe.
