Yum! I love this recipe. I've made it three times and the cookies have been consistently delicious. They are best fresh when they have a slightly crispy shell and a soft, chewy inside. I've also made then with regular semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans. All variations are delicious!

Fabulous cookie! Very fudgey! I didn't have any chocolate chips, but they really don't need them.

The DS's recreation group thoroughly enjoyed these very tasty biscuits/cookies with their outside crunch and soft centre. I got 32 from the mix and baked them for 14 minutes at 175 degree C in a fan forced oven. Thank you Lucid, made for Please Review My Recipe.

Really wonderful. I've made them three times, twice with sour cream and once with full-fat plain yogurt. I think the yogurt ones actually had the best flavor and texture. My husband and I like them with all bittersweet chips for a rich chocolate indulgence and mild sweetness. Equally good with milk, coffee or tea. This dough is sticky and thick and didn't spread much during baking--but then my kitchen is quite chilly in winter. Take them out of the oven when they're just set at the edges. They'll crisp when the cool air hits them. Best the day after baking.

This is a good cookie that both DH and I enjoyed. They weren't as sweet as I anticipated-no problem, the chips added just the right amount of sweetness. The vanilla chips make a big difference.
