These cookies are great! They are so fudgy, nutty and yummy! <br/>I made 1/4 the recipe and got 8 big cookie balls, which were devoured instantly. :)<br/>I used sugar-free choc chip cookies and hazelnut syrup in place of amaretto, leaving out the sugar completely since I wanted these to be kid- and diet-friendly.<br/>We all loved the deep chocolate taste and creamy consistency of these and Ill surely make them often again. I opted out of the sugar coating, but Im sure that would make them look even better.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Acadia!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #43 February 2012.
