Note

For best results, ensure butter is softened but not melted to achieve the right texture.

Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added, as this can make the cookies tough.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

You can substitute white chocolate chips for the chopped bar if you prefer a more uniform distribution.
