Heads up on a common mistake with butter temperature in cookie recipes

I keep seeing recipes that just say 'softened butter' without any specifics. If your butter is too warm, your cookies will spread into flat puddles. I tested this with my chocolate chip recipe and the batch with butter straight from the counter on a hot day was a total mess. How do you guys reliably get it to the right temp?

My butter is either a rock or a puddle, I can't seem to find the middle ground!

Ever try the 30-second microwave trick, maxmurphy?
