  9. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Enjoy!

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, as they have a chewy middle with melted chocolate, yet are crunchy on the outside. They are still tasty eaten the next day but if you want that melted chocolate sensation, just make as many as you will eat on the day.
