These cookies are delicious! However, they didn't turn out very crispy after cooling as I expected, even though I baked them a few extra minutes. Instead they were slightly crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle. I love chewy cookies, so I wasn't disappointed, but next time I'll bake them more than just a few extra minutes and see if they turn crispier. Also, I suggest dropping the cookies at least 2 inches apart, not 1 inch as the recipe indicates, since they spread quite a bit. I omitted the white chocolate drizzle, as I found it to be too sweet. The cookies were perfect just the way they were, with an intensely deep dark mocha taste. Thank you for a great recipe!

In response to a question...1/3 cup flour DOES seem like too little, but that's all the recipe calls for--your cookies are supposed to turn out paper-thin and crispy (because of the higher proportion of sugar). I suppose you could add just a little more flour if your batter is TOO thin, though. I hope you do give these a try--they ARE good;) Good luck!
