Notes
To ensure your cookies turn out perfectly, measure your ingredients accurately and don’t overmix the batter.
If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to portion out the dough. Just make sure each cookie is the same size for even baking.
For extra soft and chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If the cookie dough becomes too soft, chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking; this helps the cookies maintain their shape and texture.
To achieve uniformly sized cookies, use a spring-loaded cookie scoop. This ensures equal baking time and presentation.
To add saltiness, sprinkle a tiny amount of coarse sea salt on top of the cookies before baking. This enhances the sweet and chocolatey flavors.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to move without breaking.
Consider using dark chocolate chips or chunks instead of milk chocolate if you want a more intense chocolate flavor.
