Notes
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dough until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: This step is crucial for preventing the spread and enhancing flavour.
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop or weigh dough balls for even baking.
- Watch Baking Time: When removed from the oven, cookies should be slightly underbaked; they'll continue to set as they cool.
