For a nutty flavor, try adding chopped walnuts or pecans. Ensure to press the dough down gently to form even cookies, as this helps them bake uniformly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier cookie, but the texture may be denser. If using gluten-free flour, make sure to choose a blend that can replace all-purpose flour cup-for-cup.
How can I make these cookies chewy?
To achieve a chewier texture, consider reducing the amount of flour slightly or adding an extra egg yolk. Also, underbaking them by a minute or two will help maintain their chewiness.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of espresso powder to the dough. Additionally, using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet can give a richer taste to the cookies.
