  1. A-Mazing!!! Do not wait until Thanksgiving to make these!!! These were simply delicious! If you love chocolate w/ fruit in it - you will love these. They are soft and moist and have the most wonderful fruity chocolatey flavor. They aren't overly sweet - but just the right balance. Plumping the cranberries in the OJ makes such a terrific difference. Here's all I did differently - I thought 1/2 cup (2 sticks) butter would be plenty, so I cut that back a bit. I sifted the 1/2 cup cocoa (used Ghirardelli unsweetened) - and I used Hershey's special dark chocolate chips, just b/c we like dark chocolate. And I toasted some walnuts and threw them in too. Only issue - the dough was pretty soft - almost like a nice thick brownie (these would also be great as a bar cookie/brownie, btw...) Anyhow, as such, the first batch of cookies were too thin... next time I'll plan to fridge the dough for a bit first - I did fridge it after the first batch - and then the rest turned out just perfect! These will be made again and again. Perfectly perfect!!! Thank you!
     
  2. These were EXCELLENT! I thoroughly enjoyed them. I used mini chocolate ships and felt that they turned out great! There was a little bit of chocolate-y goodness in every bite! Next time, I am going to try to cut back on the butter a tad. While the flavour was wonderful, they came out a bit thin and slightly oily to the touch. No big deal though as they were still inhaled by everyone! Thank you so much for posting this great recipe!
