Tips to Make Chocolate Cookies

Measure the ingredients carefully as given in the Chocolate Cookies recipe for perfect cookies. A kitchen scale works best.
Use softened, room-temperature butter for a smoother mix and perfect cookie texture.
Mix ingredients just until combined; overmixing can make Chocolate Cookies dense or chewy.
Stick to the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe’s baking time and temperature to avoid drying or underbaking the cookies.
Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chunks for extra flavour and texture to your Chocolate Cookies.
Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to help the Chocolate Cookies keep their shape and taste better.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate’s flavour.
Let Chocolate Cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before moving them to a rack to avoid breaking.
