Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Cream butter and sugar until completely smooth – any graininess will affect texture.
- • Chill the dough for at least 60 minutes – this prevents spreading and gives a tender crumb.
- • Do not overbake – cookies should stay pale; they continue to firm as they cool.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle the hot baking sheet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
- • Do not leave the oven unattended while baking.
