Notes
For extra chewy cookies, try adding an extra egg yolk. If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake a little longer but watch closely to avoid burning. You can also mix in nuts like walnuts or pecans for added flavor and crunch. For a twist, try using dark chocolate chips or even white chocolate chunks.
