Step One: Read over the recipe. This is an important step. Be sure to read through the ingredients, and instructions. Gather ingredients needed and set them on the counter (head to the store to grab anything you might not have readily on hand). Mixing the dough by hand is not recommended so be sure to have a hand mixer or stand mixer (stand mixer is the preferred method).

Step Two: Preheat your oven to 375°. It is important to do this prior to mixing the dough so the oven will be ready when the dough is done. Do not put the cookies in the oven until it comes to temperature. Putting them in while the oven is still preheating will cause the cookies to bake unevenly.
