For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. Buttermilk adds a tender crumb, but you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Be careful not to overbake the cookies, as they can become dry. They should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
