Pretty good cookie. I used light margarine in place of the butter to lower the fat content a bit and I also used chocolate chips instead of the chopped chocolate. I have learned from experience that if you use light margarine, you need to flatten the cookies before baking because they don't really spread out much, so I did that with these too. They taste better the next day after the flavors meld a bit more.
