🍪 Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling to avoid dense cookies – over-measuring creates tough texture
🧈 Don’t skip browning the butter – this step develops deep nutty flavors that perfectly complement the miso
🍫 Use high-quality dark chocolate bars chopped into chunks rather than chips for better melting pools and richer flavor
