Triple Chocolate Fudge Cookies

Lisa Clarice's Note:

These cookies are delicious bites of chocolate goodness! This recipe only has 6 tablespoons of flour, so the texture is more fudge like than cookie. These cookies take a little longer to prep because they need to be chilled for about 60 minutes before baking. Well worth your time though - bake them up for a special dinner or party. Enjoy!

I used egg substitutes and gluten free flor, maybe that was why this was more a batter then a cookie dough even though i chilled it longer than the recipe says. The outcoming was quite pleasant, a nice little treat with coffee or cold milk. I will not make these again. Made for PAC fall 09
