1. Melt the butter in the microwave or small saucepan, until it is liquid. Don't cream it at room temp with the sugar like you're making a cake.

2. Scoop the batter in advance and freeze it for 10 minutes. You want the scoop to be tall. This way the cookie won't spread out too much when you're baking it.

3. Bake the cookie 2-3 minutes less than the recipe specifies. Removing it from the oven earlier ensures that there's more liquid in the cookie, which in turns means more chewiness and less brittle. Good luck!

I think a good guacamole needs a healthy dose of salt, an acid and cilantro. The onion is optional, but a welcome addition. If I find myself lacking some of the ingredients, I add a squirt or two of Sriracha to kick it up a bit. Works like a charm ;).
