# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The simplicity of four ingredients means you can probably make them right now without special planning
  • That perfect crisp tender texture makes them disappear faster than you can bake another batch
02 -
  • The cookie dough will seem loose and crumbly, but this texture is exactly what creates the perfect crisp final result
  • Pressing each cookie firmly before baking prevents them from falling apart when you try to move them
03 -
  • Use room temperature butter for easier melting and better incorporation with the sugar
  • Weighing ingredients ensures consistent results every time you make these
