Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips are recommended.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cookie.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will result in dry cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
