Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step ensures that the cookies won’t stick and makes for easy clean-up. In a microwave-safe bowl, I combine the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the ½ cup of unsalted butter. I melt them together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. You can really smell the chocolate, and it makes the whole kitchen feel warm and inviting! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
