1 | Don't Overmix

For soft cooking, avoid overmixing the cookie dough. The cookies will be tough if the dough is handled too much.

2 | Preheat the Oven

It can be too easy to skip this step, but leavening agents (like yeast and baking powder) rise when exposed suddenly to high temperatures. This can't happen in an oven that starts cold leading to flat cookies.

3 | Room Temperature is Best

Room temperature ingredients, like eggs and butter, are best for creaming as it helps incorporate more air into the dough, and that will help your cookies rise.
