Cook techniques
Cookie Dough Preparation
Use a mixing bowl to combine the butter and sugar until fluffy. Gradually add eggs and mix until well incorporated. Slowly add the dry ingredients, making sure to combine thoroughly but not over-mixing.
Shaping the Cookies
Scoop the dough into equal portions using a cookie scoop or tablespoon. Roll them into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough space between each cookie for spreading.
Baking the Cookies
Preheat your oven to the specified temperature and bake the cookies until they are golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking, as they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
Cooling the Cookies
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and prevents them from breaking.
