Crispy Chocolate Cookies

Submitted by Blue Eyes Willow

"Not in the mood for chocolate chip, but still wanting chocolate cookies, I adapted a crispy ginger recipe (231798) beyond recognition. I make half recipes usually so that's why some of the measurements look a little bit wonky. These taste just like chocolate graham crackers to me."

I found this recipe when I was looking for a crispy chocolate cookie recipe that I could modify with orange. This was amazing, so I can only imagine that the original recipe would be great as written. I added 1 teaspoon of orange extract. I would have added a bit of orange zest if I had it but I didn't, and they were still amazing. I did the first batch plain, the second batch I sprinkled sugar on top, and the third batch I flattened the slightly and then sprinkled sugar on top. The third batch was the best, to me, but they were all great. I will use a little more orange next time but I am making these next week for a cookie swap. Delicious!

Worst recipe for cookies I have ever used. I didn't change the recipe at all and theyfell apart and weren't crispy at all! They don't taste like chocolate at all. :(

Awesome recipe, I didn't change it a bit. I was looking for a crispy chocolate cookie recipe that my husband wanted and he loved it. I did add some peanut butter chips to a few of the cookies for me. I also used a cookie scoop and dipped the scoop in the sugar and then put on cookie sheet with parchment paper. I have a convection oven so had to bake them at 325 for 12 minutes. I did have to google how to measure out 3/8 cup and that is 1/4 cup plus 2 TBL.

Fantastic! I am admittedly a horrible baker because I hate measuring and like to improvise. However, these cookies came out perfect despite my most fervent efforts to muss them up! I doubled the recipe since I was making cookies for a big party. I left half the dough as is and got fancy with the other half adding cinnamon, chili powder, ginger and nutmeg. Both batches came out so delicious and crispy, exactly what I wanted! This is one of the best cookie recipes I have found!

Really good, very chocolatey cookies. I used white whole wheat flour in mine, and they came out great. I also used a cookie scoop to place the dough on the cookie sheet, with parchment paper lining, and skipped the extra sugar for topping. They have the crackled appearance of a gingersnap, making them not only delicious, but good looking cookies. Thanks for the recipe, Blue Eyes Willow! It's going in my favorites file!
