# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The tart berries cut through rich chocolate creating an addictive balance you wont find in ordinary cookies
  • These cookies manage to look fancy and taste sophisticated while being surprisingly simple to pull together on a Tuesday night
02 -
  • Underbaking by exactly one minute creates that fudgy center that makes people think youre a professional baker
  • Frozen raspberries are actually better than fresh here because they hold their shape during baking unlike fresh ones that can disappear into the dough
03 -
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if your kitchen runs warm and you notice cookies spreading too thin
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty version that adds protein and the most incredible crunch
