I actually prefer them soft and chewy, which I what happens when they are left uncovered overnight. Be carful to mix the butter and sugar together just to combine. If you cream or beat them together you will incorporate too much air, which causes the cookies to spread out too far as they bake, making them thin and unpleasant looking.

Still searching for what to cook ?
