# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The texture is this perfect soft middle with slightly chewy edges that makes people reach for seconds without thinking
  • You get those chunks of chocolate cookies suspended throughout each bite like little edible treasure hunt moments
  • The white chocolate balances everything with this mellow creaminess that keeps the sandwich cookies from being too overpowering
02 -
  • Over mixing the dough once the flour is added makes tough cookies so stop as soon as everything combines
  • These look underbaked when you pull them out but they firm up beautifully while cooling on the sheet
  • Room temperature ingredients matter more here than in almost any other cookie recipe I have tried
03 -
  • Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking so they brown evenly
  • Weighing your flour is the single thing that will take these from good to amazing
