Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheet with butter or cooking spray.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack, as they will be very soft and fragile when they come out of the oven.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
