Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.

Pro Tips for Success
Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t over-mix the batter; combine until ingredients are just incorporated to ensure the perfect cookie texture.
Storing and Reheating
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you need to refresh them, a quick 10-second zap in the microwave will do the trick!
FAQ Section
