We enjoyed these cookies. I really liked that they were a smaller yield recipe that was very easy to throw together. Not very sweet, which I like. More crumbly than I was expecting from the word fudgy, but a decent amount of chocolate flavor nonetheless. Made for ZWT5.

The DS took these (26 of them) to his music recreation group and they were wishing there were more. I baked for 11 minutes at 170C fan forced oven. Thank you Vicki in CT, made for photo Tag.
