Notes
Do not overmix the batter. Mix the ingredients until just combined. If overmixed, the cookies could turn out flat.
Soften the butter. Softened butter ensures that it incorporates with the sugar. The butter should not be melted or too firm. Place butter on counter for up to an hour to lightly soften. You should be able to make a fingerprint indention into the stick of butter.
Bake cookies until they are set. The edges should be slightly firm, and center should still be moist. Once removed from the oven, they will finish baking.
Let your cookies cool completely before transferring them to a wire rack or storing them in an airtight container.
