Notes

Tips for Baking Perfect Cookies:

Make sure the butter and eggs are room temperature.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutesr before baking. This improves the texture and rise of the cookies as they bake.
Using a cookie scoop ensures you get the same size cookie each time and that they will bake evenly.
Check the cookies after 9 minutes and if the bottoms are set and just starting to brown, they're ready.
Remove the cookie sheet pans from the oven and leave the cookies on the hot sheet pans for about two minutes so that they can finish baking.
Cool on wire racks before enjoying...if you can wait that long!
