Tips:

- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. - If you don't have a stand mixer, you can cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. - Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly. - Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. - Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them.
