My oven is broke so I thought these would be a nice treat for my family. I followed the recipe as written. The cookies were good but very rich for me. We all enjoyed them.

Absolutely wonderful, & oh, so different from the usual idea of a cookie! I did cut the recipe in half for this first time around, but I'll be making these again & again, I know ~ Great tasting AND a conversation piece, too!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

When I first saw this recipe had to try it as I was fasinated by the use of the waffle iron. It was so much fun and came out nice and soft and hardened after sitting. They are a rich chocolate though so beware, I made them pretty small once I tasted them but wasn't one left once the DGSs got to them. If you like chocolate, you'll love these. Made for ZWT 2011

I made half the recipe with great results. These cookies are so yummy. I have maybe only 4-5 cookies left. The icing is perfect with the cookie. I cooked them about 2 minutes. They were soft but they hardened after while cooling. Thanks Breezermom :) Made for Photo tag game

Fun fun fun in the kitchen with this recipe! Each recipe made about 21 cookies in my Belgium waffle iron. I made two batches of the recipe to share at our neighborhood cookie exchange. We all enjoyed the flavors. The texture was nice and soft and the icing just takes it over the top. One neighbor even commented how you could flip the triangle around and make a Rudolph decoration with candies! I did sprinkle some very mini red/green chips on top to make them festive for the party! The dough is stiffer than I expected but works out great in the waffle iron. I used the 2 setting for mine for doneness and it allowed the cookies to be cooked through but not too crispy. Just a perfect little recipe! Thanks for sharing in Please Review My Recipe tag game. :)
