Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cookies. Choose a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao and has a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will also affect the texture of your cookies. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely before filling them. This will help the filling set properly.
