💭 Tips

Here are a few tips that you can use to help make sure that these cookies turn out perfectly for you every time that you make them.

• Make sure that you use room temperature ingredients so that it mixes evenly into the cookie dough.
• Lining your baking sheets helps prevent the cookies from browning too much on the bottom so we don’t recommend skipping this step.
• Don’t overmix the batter. This is a common mistake that many novice bakers make, resulting in tough and dense baked goods. Remember to mix just until the ingredients are incorporated – any more than that and you risk activating too much gluten and developing too much structure in your batter.
