- For even more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
Variations
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for some added crunch.
- Stir in a handful of white chocolate chips for a fun twist on the classic recipe.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.
