Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Be careful not to overmix the dough, especially when you're mixing the wet and dry ingredients. This will cause the cookies to become hard and dry.

Make sure you weigh the flour and the other ingredients correctly. It really makes a huge difference in the texture of your cookies.

To lend the cookies a more deeper, caramel-like flavor, brown the butter in a pan over low heat, allow it to cool down and come to room temperature, and then use it for the recipe.

Want those perfectly round cookies? Take a large glass and place it over the cookie right after it is out of the oven. Swirl it in a circular motion for a couple of times, and you'll have the perfect round shape!

You can make a big batch of cookie dough, portion it out on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, place the frozen cookie dough balls in a freezer safe container or bag for up to 2 months.
