Why You'll Love This: These cookies are a chocolate lover’s dream, rich in flavor and varying in texture.

They're also perfect for festive occasions like Christmas or Valentine’s Day when chocolate is a must-have on the menu. Pack them for a picnic or send them as a thoughtful homemade gift.
Decoration Tips: For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle the cookies with sea salt before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor. You can also drizzle them with melted white chocolate or caramel for a beautiful contrast. Serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes for an exquisite dessert option.
