So easy and so tasty! Much more chocolate flavor than recipes using coco powder and vanilla wafers. I've been making these for church holiday cookie sales for the past 2 years. Every time I deliver them someone always wants a "quality control" sample. Thanks, LiisaN! -
Ok, these were delicious, and took about 5 minutes to make. I gave some as gifts, and they only get better with time, provided they're stored in an airtight container. I did put butter on my hands when forming them to keep from wearing more than I made. Thank you!

<P>I'm a Mom of three boys: 19, 16, 13 (Josh, Jake and Jonah) and a 1 yr old golden retriever-Jethro. I work full-time as a Medicare compliance analyst for a non-profit health insurer. I love to cook - although I don't always have enough time to do as I'd like to do. I don't especially care to do the clean up though- but who does?? Food in general brings people together and makes people feel at ease. My boys love to help out in the kitchen-especially if I'm baking bread or baking sweet treats for them. If anyone were to ask them what I put in a recipe - first two ingredients they'd list would be olive oil and garlic -- (well not for the sweet stuff..at least)! I'm constantly browsing to see how I can alter/influence my family's eating - as well as trying to get it on the table quickly! My boys are all hockey players - so I spend a lot of time at the ice arena. When I have time of my own..I try to get on the golf course or read cookbooks.</P>
