:: HELPFUL HINTS ::
* Measure your flour correctly (spoon & level method). Adding too much flour will result to dry and crumbly texture of cookies when baked. Fluff your flour with a spoon, spooned it into your measuring cup, and use the back of the knife to level it off.

* Let the cookie rest in the baking pan for 5-10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.

Happy baking!
