Sift your flour to ensure a light, even texture and to prevent clumping in your dough.
Chill your cookie dough in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before baking—this helps control spreading and enhances the flavor.
Allow melted butter to cool for at least 45 minutes before mixing it in. This keeps the dough from becoming too greasy and helps with texture.
Bring your egg to room temperature by letting it sit out for at least 1 hour. This helps it incorporate more evenly into the dough for better consistency.
