❓ Q & A
Q: Why did my cookies spread too much?
Dough may be too warm—chill longer before baking.
Q: How do I keep them fudgy?
Don’t overbake! They should look slightly underdone in the center.
Q: Can I make them extra rich?
Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher).
Q: Can I add nuts?
Yes! Walnuts or pecans add great texture.
Q: How to store?
Keep in an airtight container for 3–4 days (if they last that long 😄)
