Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and delightful for days.
- Warm a cookie in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to release the melty chocolate and enhance the aroma.
- Serve these irresistible cookies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them; they'll continue to set as they cool, maintaining a soft center.
