dogloverforever's Note:

If you're a chocolate lover, you're going to want to keep this recipe. I left out the nuts, because I don't like nuts in cookies. But you can use them if you want.

Made for PAC Spring 08 These were really good! I brought them to a party and everyone liked them. They taste like brownies. They did crumble a bit on me but I think it's because I did not cool them the way the directions said to. I think next time I make these I will try using milk chocolate rather then semi sweet (just personal tastes). Very tasty and loved! Thanks so much we will make again!
