Notes
Use part cake flour for a more tender cookie. This recipe uses both all purpose and cake flour. You can use all regular all purpose flour if you need to.
Use room-temperature ingredients so the dough mixes evenly and the cookies bake with a consistent texture.
Don’t overbake. The centers should look slightly soft when you pull them from the oven—they’ll set up as they cool, keeping that tender middle.
Measure your flour carefully. Too much flour can make the cookies thick and dry instead of perfectly balanced.
Let cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to help them finish setting without overbaking.
