Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten: Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form disks.
Bake:
Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Enjoy: Serve the cookies with a glass of milk or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips for Success:
Butter: Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
Mixing: Be careful not to overmix the dough once the flour is added, as this can make the cookies tough.
Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp texture.
