Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cookies will taste. Look for organic, unbleached whole wheat flour, fresh butter, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and chewy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set properly.
