Tips
- Ensure butter is softened, not melted, to prevent cookies from spreading too thin.
- Crack eggs with two hands to avoid eggshell in the dough.
- Do not overmix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients; mix until the flour is just absorbed.
- Pull cookies out of the oven when they are just browning on top and still jiggly; they will seem underdone but will be soft when they cool.
