Tips:

  • For a softer cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • To make the cookies even more flavorful, use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry.
