It is good and I probably will not make it again not terrific. Handy for when you need a chocolate fix or a quick cookie to make. You probably will always have all the ingredients on hand.

Nice soft texture, and very chocolaty. I used a jumbo egg. I didn't add nuts, but next time I might. I think these would be good dusted with Chocolate Powdered Sugar . Made for Sweet Traditions tag.

Yummy! I made this as written omitting the nuts. I did end up with 5 dozen, much to my surprise since I rarely end up with the number of cookies a recipe states. Made for Holiday Tag.
