Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. A high oven temperature helps the cookies set quickly and prevents them from becoming too soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
