Tips

Use quality materials.
Use ingredients at room temperature. To bring egg, butter, and milk-based ingredients to room temperature, let them sit at room temperature for at least one hour before using them. In this way, the dough will have an even texture.
Use fresh spices. This gives flavor to the cookie.
Measure materials accurately. Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups to accurately measure ingredients.
To measure flour, flatten the flour with the back of the knife. In this way, you can make more accurate measurements. Otherwise, too much flour can cause the cookie dough to become tough.
Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This helps to distribute the spices and flour evenly.
Avoid over-mixing the ingredients. Do not mix the ingredients too much after adding the flour. Otherwise, the dough will harden.
Chill the dough. After mixing the dough, shape it into a disc, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate the dough for at least an hour, until it has completely solidified. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to place the dough on the baking sheet. This ensures that the cookies are of even size and bake evenly.
Preheat the oven. Make sure the oven is fully warmed up before you start baking the cookies. This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.
Place parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on the baking sheet. This prevents the cookies from sticking.
Place the cookies evenly on the baking tray. The cookies will spread as they bake.
Do not overcook the cookies. Over-baking causes dry, crumbly cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. This allows the cookies to harden. Otherwise, it can easily fall apart.
Add almonds, cashews, or macadamia nuts for extra nutty flavor and texture.
You can use sweeteners such as molasses, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
