Nice soft texture, and very chocolaty. I used a jumbo egg. I didn't add nuts, but next time I might. I think these would be good dusted with Recipe #419797 . Made for Sweet Traditions tag.

Yummy! I made this as written omitting the nuts. I did end up with 5 dozen, much to my surprise since I rarely end up with the number of cookies a recipe states. Made for Holiday Tag.

MMMMMmmmm; these are like a little piece of chocolate cake, but smaller and you don't feel quite so sinful. They were a snap to make. I got 4 dozens instead of 5; which could be because I did not add nuts. They popped quite a bit, almost double and could be made a bit smaller and then I would probably get to the 5 dozens. Made for 'went to the market'. Thanks for sharing

These are to simple to make and with ingredients I had in the house. I left out the nuts for the sake of the kiddos and added some chocolate frosting for that extra chcolate kick. Thanks for a very simple treat that my family will enjoy all week long.

I just pulled these out of the oven and I love them! I avoided the nuts and added milk-chocolate chips instead. Super gooey and rich! I baked for 10 minutes, then checked with a toothpick. Baked for 2 more minutes and one pan was a little over-done, but the other pan is just right. Even the over-done ones are good, but the just-right ones are great! Yum yum
