Tips for creaming butter and sugar:

1. Soft butter: First things first, your butter has to be the right temperature. If your butter isn’t soft at room temperature it’s not going to work!
2. Sifted sugar: soft your sugar into a large mixing bowl with your butter. If your sugar is hard and crunchy your butter will be chunky!
3. Beat the ingredients on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. You want the butter to be pale yellow and light and fluffy.
4. It’s helpful to use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice during the creaming process.

The best way to store cookies and keep them fresh is to use these glass food containers. Otherwise just use your favorite food container with a lid. Plastic wrap works well too! Store them in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or 5 days at room temperature.
