Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the overall flavor of the cookies. Look for a chocolate that has a high cacao content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: Letting the cookies cool completely will help them to set and develop their full flavor.
