Tips & Substitutions
For extra richness, consider adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. If you want to reduce the sweetness, use dark chocolate morsels instead of semi-sweet. For a nut-free version, simply leave out the nuts or substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best creaminess.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for a dessert platter or as a sweet treat alongside coffee or milk. They also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. For a fun twist, serve them with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a side of Chocolate-Peppermint Flip for a festive touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of chocolate for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute semi-sweet chocolate morsels with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for different flavor profiles. Just keep in mind that the sweetness may vary, so adjust the sugar accordingly if you use a sweeter chocolate.
What can I do if my cookie dough is too dry?
If your dough seems dry, try adding a tablespoon of milk or an additional egg to help it come together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with texture.
