Author's Notes

Do not use HOT butter this will cause the sugars to melt resulting in cookies that overspread. Use WARM butter only.

To keep cookies soft and chewy, do not overbake. Cookies should still look soft/slightly under-done in the centers once you remove them from the oven. They will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheets.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line a cookie sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
