Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before using.
Don't overbeat the batter, or the cookies will be tough.
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 they are just set, but still slightly soft in the center. This will give them a chewy texture.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
