- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a smooth and even cookie dough.
- 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 in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes: This will help to ensure that the cookies are cooked through without becoming overcooked.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
