Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape, which will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: The cookies will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
