Tips:
- Ensure you read all instructions before starting to bake.
- Prep all ingredients before starting.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise stated.
- Use parchment paper on baking sheets for easy clean-up.
- If you don't have buttermilk you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to regular milk and let it sit for a few minutes.
- If your chocolate is not melting smoothly, try heating it in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- When measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Don't overmix your cookie dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
