- Chill for Thicker Cookies: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Mixing Tip: Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to prevent dense cookies.
- Measuring Flour: Use the spoon and level method to measure flour accurately—too much flour can make cookies dry.
