Critical Success Points

  • Gradually add dry ingredients to avoid a crumbly dough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 1 hour for proper texture.
  • Do not overbake; watch for very light golden edges.
  • Dip only fully cooled cookies to prevent breakage.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts.
  • Melted chocolate can cause burns; stir carefully and avoid overheating.
