- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before dipping them in chocolate.
- Use a good quality chocolate for dipping. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate works well.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Overheated chocolate will be thick and difficult to work with.
