Tips:
- Use cold butter. Cold butter creates a flakier cookie. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before using.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
