Tips:

  • Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients correctly. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
