For best results, ensure the butter is properly softened and the egg whites are at room temperature.
Sifting the flour helps to create a lighter, more delicate cookie.
If you don't have a pastry bag or cookie press, you can spoon small amounts of dough onto the baking sheet, but the shape will be less uniform.
Use high-quality chocolate for dipping; the better the chocolate, the better the flavor.
Be careful not to overbake the cookies, as they can become too dry and brittle.
For a variation, try using different types of chocolate, such as white chocolate or dark chocolate.
