Chill the Dough
Chilling your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking can help enhance the flavors and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Watch the Bake Time
For that perfect half-baked texture, keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. They should be slightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
