A bit too chocolaty for my liking though my daughter just loved them. I think I'd made again but maybe halve the amount of cocoa. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for sharing. -
We made these as drop cookies and filled some with Recipe #264991 for an added treat. These cookies are crisp, and very chocolaty! The dough has a texture of refridgerator cookie dough. While adding the dry and wet ingredients it took a bit of coaxing for the ingredients to come together and it seemed to be too dry, but I stayed true to the recipe and found they turned out just the right consistency. Thanks for posting this nice chocolate lovers' recipe! ~Buddha -
Great tasting cookies! Certainly not the soft, chewy kind, but that was OK by me, 'cause I found them to be exceptional for dunking into hot chocolate, as well as crumbled over some frozen peach yogurt! And just so you know, they were in the oven just a hair under 8 minutes! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe cooking game]

These were a big hit at my house. I agree with the previous reviewer on them being a little harder than we usually prefer cookies, but other than me, my house doesn't really care as long as there's cookies! -
Easy to make and produced a deep, dark, maximum-chocolate sugar cookie. We found them a little bit hard for our taste until the photographer spilled milk on some and we had to eat the "spoiled" ones... then everybody started dipping. Then we topped them with Kittencal's Recipe#89207 #89207 -- a marriage made in heaven for the cookie equivalent of a dark chocolate truffle. 24 hours later, the cookies were softer and somewhat chewy, frosted or not. Keep the milk handy anyway, it's still good. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game 2008.

I'm just a girl whos passion is for cooking, well some people would call it an obbsession rather.... I am a college student at RIT going for food management and prep, my favortie things! Most of my orignal recipes are made from left overs since I cook for one or two most days so there are always left overs in my house. I play mad scientist most days in my kitchen with left over chicken breasts lol. I am also a health food freak and a major gym rat, so I am always on the look out for good subs for the more unhealthy ingredients in most recipes. Also I am just starting to take pictures of the food I make on this site, so my photos are anything but stellar yet so I will not be offended in any way if you chooses not to use my pictures.
