Tips and Variations

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • If you prefer a chewier texture, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • To make these cookies gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Add chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to the dough for added texture and crunch.
