Notes
Success Strategies:
- Before beginning the recipe, be certain that your butter is at room temperature. It will be easier to combine with the sugar and eggs thanks to this.
- After incorporating the dry ingredients, do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in dry, tough cookies.
- Try adding some cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients of your cookie recipe if you want to give them a little extra flavour.
- Try baking the cookies for an additional 1-2 minutes to give them an extra crispy texture. Just make sure to watch them closely to prevent burning!
