Not too sweet, which is a good thing since it has a nutella spread topping. Did find the dough a bit crumbly, so I rolled them out instead of doing slice and bake. Came out fine. The only downside to the cookie is the nutella doesn't harden at all, so it's hard to store the cookies. I ended up making sandwich cookies so they wouldn't be so messy. Great chocolate cookie Flower! Thanks! Made for PRMR Nov 2012

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
