1. Keep all your ingredients (butter, eggs) at room temperature before baking as this will ensure everything is easy to mix. A quick way to soften your butter is to pop it in a microwave or grate it.

2. Skip the all-purpose flour for bread flour. This will make the cookies thicker and chewier.

3. Use brown sugar for softer, thicker, butterscotch-flavored cookies, or you can also use granulated sugar for flat, thin and crisp cookies.

4. If you like the taste of chocolate and coffee, add a pinch of instant coffee granules.

5. Use an ice cream scoop to help measure an equal amount of dough in each cookie.

6. Avoid opening the oven to take a peak as this can cause the cookies to flatten.

7. Top the finished good with a dash of salt for a sophisticated finish.
