Choose premium ingredients, particularly for cocoa and chocolate chips, to deepen flavor. Gel food coloring offers a more vivid hue with less moisture. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially for the frosting, to achieve a smooth texture. Properly chilling the dough reduces spread, producing thicker cookies. Avoid overbaking for the ideal soft texture, and always let cookies cool fully before frosting.
