Notes
-
- Chill the Dough: If you find your cookies spread too much, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Room-Temperature Ingredients: Eggs and butter should be at room temperature for a smooth, even mix.
- Watch the Oven: Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your cookies around the 12-minute mark. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the middle.
- Keep Fresh Cookies: Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll stay fresh for up to two weeks.
- Freezing Dough: First, freeze dough balls on a sheet. Then, move them to a freezer bag. They're good for 3 months. When ready, bake straight from the freezer, just add an extra 1-2 minutes to your bake time.
- Freezing Baked Cookies: Lay them out in a single layer in a freezer-safe container. They'll last for 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or quickly warm them in the oven or microwave.
