- Remove the cookies from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooled cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure butter and egg are at room temperature for the best texture.
Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
Slightly underbake for chewier cookies; they will continue to set as they cool.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
