Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cookies spread and bake evenly.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
- 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.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make your cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
