  • 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 moderate temperature. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
