Tips:

  • Use melted butter. This will help the cookies spread and give them a chewy texture.
  • 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 will make the cookies tough.

  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.
