key tips
Chilling. Chilling the dough before scooping allows the dough to hold its shape and adds more flavor to the cookies.
Folding. By folding the batter the flour is incorporated into the dough, without overmixing. Overmixing can lead to a tough cookie.
Flaky Sea Salt. Don't skimp on the flaky sea salt (if it is accessible to you). This makes or breaks your cookies. The salt complements the sweet soft chocolate and chewy cookie.
