# Expert Advice:
01 -

02 -
- Overbaking is the number one mistake, pull them when edges look set and centers still seem soft
- Chilling the dough for thirty minutes prevents cookies from spreading too thin and enhances flavor
03 -
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing so everything bakes evenly
- Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for consistent browning
