Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure to measure the flour accurately to avoid dry or dense cookies.
• Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
• If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheets with butter or cooking spray instead.
• Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them to stay chewy and moist.
