Mine turned out super - I was really surprised that I didn't need any egg. For those who had problems, I'd be willing to bet they used all-purpose flour. I didn't think that would work, so I added baking soda and salt to convert mine to self-rising. So I would be willing to bet the ones that had problems didn't add any leavening. Thanks for the recipe - these were a big hit!!

per review of mrthing I used Martha White self rising flour and as the dough was a little tough to work with I added about 2 TB canned milk when mixing in the flour, worked like a charm they look delicious but since it is a dish for Church I won't know how it tastes until someone tells me. Thank you for the recipe it is hard to find desserts w/o eggs!

I made these and they were perfect. Our oven is a little bit older. So you have to adjust the temperature sometimes. However, I made these and I was very happy. Now a week later I got on here to check the recipe again to make them and decided to write a short review. Just follow the recipe and you should get great results.

Yep, this recipe is a keeper!!! My pantry had Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate so that's what was used. My family enjoyed them very much despite being milk chocolate lovers. Thanks to other reviews, I watched this very carefully while baking in my inconsistent temp oven. The edges did brown but the center was obviously not done. A few minutes later the center was "done" and the edges were still fine. They turned out very well. As many say, this is more of a shortbread bar and is very, very good! This is a recipe that is staying in the recipe box to be used again and again! Thank you for sharing!
