Tips:
- Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread evenly and prevent them from becoming too dry.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined: 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 and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are 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.
