What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid overmixing the cookie dough, as this can result in tough cookies instead of tender ones.
- Make sure your butter is softened but not melted, as the texture of the cookies will be affected if the butter is too warm.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet with dough balls, as they will spread while baking and merge into one giant cookie.
- Keep an eye on the cookies while baking, as they can easily overcook and become dry if left in the oven for too long.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent them from becoming soggy.
