Tips:

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a more tender cookie.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: Adding the eggs one at a time will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: Stirring in the dry ingredients gradually will help to prevent the batter from becoming too tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out: Chilling the dough will help to make it easier to roll out and will also help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut out the cookies: A sharp knife will help to create clean edges on the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes: Baking the cookies at the right temperature and for the right amount of time will help to ensure that they are cooked through without becoming overcooked.
