Notes
Don’t overbake: The cookies will firm up as they cool, so remove them when the center is slightly soft.
Use natural cocoa powder: A rich, unsweetened cocoa powder will give the best chocolate flavor.
Use a cookie scoop: If you want the cookies to be even in size, a cookie scoop is the best way to go. Otherwise, using a spoon or your hands is fine.
Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the fridge. Freeze for up to 3 months.
