  • “I baked at 350 F. for 11 mins. and got soft chewy cookies.Keep the dough in the fridge between rolling to keep it from getting mushy.It was easier to scoop abt. a tsp. full of dough onto the powdered sugar and roll it into a ball once it was coated in the powdered sugar.Delicious.”

  • “What beautiful, soft, chocolate cookies!They looked wonderful on my cookie trays and were a hug hit at my daughter’s school and husband’s office.I will say that I was skeptical that they would even turn out after looking at my refrigerated cookie dough.It was the stickest dough I’ve ever seen.I added an extra 1/2 cup of flour because I couldn’t handle the dough, then I put it back in the refrigerator for an additional hour.While the dough was extremely sticky, I was able to form it into 1-inch round balls which I then rolled in confectioner’s sugar (keep your dough in the refrigerator between trays).Thanks for some great Christmas cookies!”

  • “Great recipe.Easy to make and the family loved them. I assumed that you baked at 350 since it didnt say.But I cooked for a bit longer at that temperature and it worked out fine.”

  • “For an even more intense chocolate flavor,press a chocolate candy kiss on each cookie right after you take them out of the oven.My kids love these.”

  • “I love these cookies! They taste like brownies rolled in powdered sugar. I use Hersheys Cocoa Powder instead of the chocolate squares.”

  • “love these cookies!! easy and chocolatey cookies! thanks for posting.”

  • “These are my favorite cookies and I have been baking them for years especially at holiday time!I usually mix in 1/2 cup chopped nuts before chilling.And my recipe says bake for 15 min. but I do know that sometimes that is too long, so I just check them and use my judgement.”

  • “I didn’t have enough baking powder so I substituted a little baking soda, but it still turned out great! Had to bake it a little longer than 10 minutes but it still came out nice and soft and chewy!”

  • “Making cookies is annual tradition for my son and I. We tried this recipe along with a few others and were more than happy with the results. Thanks for the great recipe. “

  • “Great cookies.I added a tsp mint extract to make chocolate mint.”

  • “I love these cookies.My kids get a real kick out of watching them in the oven. They look and taste great.”
