TIPS:

Keep the ingredients cold: To ensure that the cookies keep their shape while you bake, it is important that the butter and egg are cold when you begin mixing the ingredients.

Don’t overmix the dough: Mix the dry and wet ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies instead of soft, tender ones.

Use an ice cream scoop: To make all the cookies the same size and cook evenly, consider using an ice cream scoop to form the dough balls.

Leave enough space: When placing the dough cookies on the baking sheet, be sure to leave enough space between them so that they can expand as they bake.

Let them cool completely: The cookies will be more fragile right after they come out of the oven, so let them sit on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
