when i made these the 1st time, i baked them for about 10 minutes. needless to say, they turned out so tough i couldn't even sink my teeth into them! then i tried again, just stuck them into the fridge. they turned out great! very cholocatey, fudgey and not too sweet! i did reduce the amount of suger though. this recipe is a keeper; it's easy and fun to make and the cookies are yummy!

Hi Betty, I can see where the confusion is, it doesn't clearly say that you don't bake them. Maybe you could add something about that and you just recool the cookies. Regards Ann

I dont think Chef Watermelon got it!! You dont bake them again, they are already cooked. And I have jsut dropped spoonfuls onto wax paper. Less cleanup.
