Save yourself clean-up time by lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper before baking. I have found that I can reuse the same sheets of parchment for an entire batch of cookies.
This recipe works equally well using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
For best results, allow your ingredients to come to room temperature before you start baking.
I highly recommend you get yourself a cookie scoop! Using a scoop ensures that each of your cookies are a uniform size and shape, which also means even baking. It is a must-have kitchen tool for any home baker.
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Keep them in a single layer or between wax paper. They can also be frozen and will last for up to 3 months this way.
