Notes
- Fully soften your butter so it creams easily. Otherwise, you could have little bits of butter in your batter.
- Mix the dough until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can make cookies tough.
- Only bake the cookies for 10 minutes. They'll look underdone, but the heat from the baking sheet will finish them to perfection.
