I think the secret to good cookies are room temperature butter.  I set my butter out a couple of hours before I make cookies.  Use the paper around the stick of butter to grease your pans.  Let the cookies set on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before placing them on your wire racks for cooling.

Note:  Ary, If you actually come here for the recipe, leave me a note and let me know how your cookies turn out!
