  • Use a food processor to cream the butter and sugar together. This will help create a smooth, creamy dough.
  • 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 at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.
