Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Use a cookie scoop to shape the dough. This will help you get evenly sized cookies.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give you chewy cookies with crispy edges.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.
