For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Ensure your butter is properly softened to allow for a smooth and even dough. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading during baking. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cardamom or ginger, to customize the flavor profile.
