Don't over mix. The trick to a tender cookie is to not over mix the dough. After adding the flour, mix just until the ingredients are incorporated.
Put a slice of fresh white bread in your storage container with the cookies. This will help the cookies stay soft. The bread has moisture in it and it will help prevent the cookies from drying out.
Cookies spread too much. If you find that your cookies are spreading too much during baking, your butter may have been too soft. Put the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and allow it to chill before baking.
