Chewy Dark-Chocolate Cookies

"I developed these when my husband and I were still dating. He's a type 1 diabetic, so if he's going to have dessert, it needs to be reduced-sugar and -carb or sugar-free. These are a take off of what my family always called "earthquake cookies," those powdered-sugar-coated chocolate cookies with the crackly tops. These won't crackle as nicely, but the cookies turn out chewy with a nice dark-chocolate flavor. I have found that they are just as good without the powdered sugar coating, if you prefer/don't mind a less-sweet cookie, like my husband. I also don't use a full cup of white sugar, just a scant cup. The dough will stick to your hands when you form it into balls, so if you just HATE chocolaty palms, use plastic gloves or another recipe."
