- Use quality chocolate: It makes a big difference. Chopped chocolate melts more luxuriously than chips.
- Let the dough chill (optional): Chilling the dough for 30 minutes intensifies flavor and gives you thicker cookies.
- Go bold with toppings: Try a peanut butter drizzle, caramel sauce, or a dusting of cocoa powder for fun variations.
Perfect for Gifting or Storing
