Treat your ingredients with care...

• Butter — Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugars.
• Chocolate chips — Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
• If you prefer a softer texture, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking for a sweet and salty combination.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate, such as white chocolate or a mix of dark and milk chocolate.
• Serve warm cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.

Serve these Bosnian Chocolate Chip Cookies with a cup of Bosnian coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or within a day or two of baking.

Presentation advice
