Tips:

• For added flavor, consider mixing in a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough.
• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugars.
• Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
