Notes

- Make sure you cream your butter and brown sugar well. If you have pockets of butter left during baking, it will melt, causing uneven spread.
- Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cookies at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
