* From Chris: Softened butter / melted butter is all well and good - BUT look into BROWNING the butter, which is basically cooking the butter until it turns a golden brown and has a nutty smell (and -not- burn it, thats key :P)

Im also more on the side where, when it comes to baking cookies I like to do it with baking powder AND baking soda, to give it a "cakey" lift. Your mileage may vary.
