Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
  • Chill the dough 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 give the cookies a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
