Notes
🌡️ Don’t overbake the cookies – remove them from the oven when the centers still look slightly soft for the perfect chewy, fudgy texture that makes these cookies irresistible
🍪 Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor – the better the chocolate ingredients, the more delicious your cookies will be
❄️ Chill the dough thoroughly before baking – cold dough prevents spreading and helps maintain the thick, soft texture that makes these cookies a favorite
