Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the chocolate, butter, and flour. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the cookies.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more evenly and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- 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 make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with jam. This will help prevent the jam from making the cookies soggy.
