Tips:

  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming dry.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
