When baking, it’s important to remember that these cookies might appear slightly soft as soon as they come out of the oven. This is intentional—overbaking will rob them of their tender, chewy texture. Allow them to cool for a few minutes, and they’ll firm up perfectly, with a slight chew that makes them impossible to resist. The combination of deep chocolate, gentle spices, and subtle heat creates a flavor profile that keeps you coming back for more.
