- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Chill the dough if it's too soft, and consider adding mix-ins like white chocolate chips for variety.
