# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The cocoa and white chocolate create this unexpected depth that keeps people guessing
- They stay incredibly soft for days, which is rare for colored cookies
02 -
- Overbaking is the enemy here, pull them out when they still look slightly soft in the middle
- Gel food coloring is worth the extra trip to the store, liquid coloring can make the dough too thin
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from seizing and ensure even baking
- Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for consistent browning
