Tips
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for the best results, not melted or too hard.
- Chill the cookie dough balls for about 3 hours before baking to ensure they stay soft and chewy.
- Bake cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, and take them out whether or not they look done to prevent overbaking and maintain softness.
