Tips:

  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
