  2. Make sure not to overbake the cookies, as they will continue to cook a bit after being removed from the oven.
  3. Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet, as the cookies need room to spread while baking.
  4. Do not skip chilling the dough in the refrigerator, as this helps the cookies retain their shape while baking.
  5. Avoid using warm or melted butter, as this can affect the texture of the cookies. Make sure the butter is softened but still cool to the touch.
