For extra flavor, try browning the butter before creaming it with the sugars. This will add a nutty, caramel-like depth to the cookies. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cookies. Mix until just combined. Feel free to customize the mix-ins to your liking! Other great options include dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, chopped almonds, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
