  1. These needed something else to them -- maybe walnuts or pecans. After tasting the first batch I topped each cookie with a peppermint-flavored Hershey's kiss as soon as they came out of the oven. That helped a lot. I served these at a pot luck and had numerous people say they looked nice with the Hershey's kiss on top, but no one said they tasted good. There were lots of leftovers.
     
  2. GREAT recipe - the next best thing to a chocolate IV-drip. Kids ate them like potato chips, grown-ups begged for the recipe. A few tips: - Chill time is critical. Dough needs to be cold. I refrigerate for at least four hours, or overnight. - Rolling in powdered sugar doesn’t work well – it gets all globbed up. Instead, when the dough balls are on the cookie sheet, I dust the tops generously (I put the powdered sugar in a small strainer). When the cookies come out of the oven, I give them another very light dusting. - 12 minutes is about right. They’ll look a bit under-done, but they’ll remain chewy.
     
  3. These are great little cookies. I tried another similar recipe but liked this one much better. These cookies were much fudgier, and the chocolate chips give them an extra richness. They are really pretty too. I followed the recipe exactly, and baked the cookies for 10 minutes.
     
  4. I made these as part of my Holiday Tins to give to friends and family. I followed this easy recipe to a "T," and they came out great. The texture is wonderful, and their taste is chocolatey bliss! They would be wonderful with some finely chopped pecans or walnuts. I got about 40 perfectly sized cookies out of the batch. Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. These cookies are really good. They taste like mini brownies. I added in some chopped walnuts.
