For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate, the richer the flavor. Don't skip the chilling step! It makes the dough much easier to handle and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Feel free to experiment with different nuts and dried fruits. Almonds, pecans, dried cranberries, or raisins would all be delicious additions. If desired, dip the cooled cookies in melted semisweet chocolate for an extra decadent treat. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
