Tips and Variations

• Make sure your butter is softened before you begin. If it is too cold, it will not cream properly with the sugar.
• Use room temperature eggs. This will help them mix in better with the other ingredients.
• Don't overmix the dough. Mix until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
• For a fun twist, try adding food coloring to the dough or sprinkling festive decorations on top before baking.
• Try using different extracts for different flavors. Almond or lemon extract can add a unique taste to your cookies.
• If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for a few extra minutes until golden brown.
