FAQ:

1. Can I use homemade brownie batter?
Yes, but make sure the batter is thick enough to roll into balls. Adjust the flour if needed.

2. Can I skip the chocolate topping?
Of course! The cookies are delicious on their own, but the topping adds an extra layer of indulgence.

3. Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?
Yes! Almond butter or any nut butter can be substituted, but the flavor will vary slightly.

4. Why did my cookies spread too much?
Ensure the dough is chilled before baking, and avoid overmixing to prevent excess spreading.
