Notes
Use Kitchen Scale. The greatest advantage you can give yourself when baking is using a kitchen scale. It helps more accurately measure ingredients by weight vs. volume.
Spoon and Level Flour. If you do not have a kitchen scale, then spoon and level your flour to ensure you are not adding too much.
Room Temperature Ingredients. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before beginning.
Have All Ingredients Ready. I like to measure out all my ingredients before I begin. This just helps ensure I am able to work more efficiently and quickly.
Add chocolate morsels for a bit of sweetness!
Add your preferred nuts - pecans or walnuts, or your favorite.
I use dark brown sugar, but you can use light brown sugar as 1:1.
