Place cookies on waxed paper; refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Keep cookies chewy and soft by storing them tightly covered. Resealable food-storage plastic bags, plastic food containers with tight-fitting lids and metal tins work best.

Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper for no-stick cookie baking and easy cleanup.

Very easy sugar cookies, and they''re yummy, too! My 4-year-old and I had a great time making them. There was no huge mess, and almost all of it was easy enough for her to help with. I would suggest setting your timer for 5 minutes instead of 6 to start with. My first batch was a little too crispy.
