  • “Don’t know what happened, but the dough came out dry and crumbly. Tried to press it together to bake, but cookies came out lumpy and gross. Won’t try again…”

  • “LOVELY. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. I don’t know how in the picture that those look tan. Mine were dark dark brown but oh so yummy. Two minutes before I was going to take it out I put a concoction on cinnamin, brown sugar, and reg sugar on the top of half of the cookies and it made all the difference. I also made large instead of small cookies which made the middle ooey and gooey how i like it.”

  • “These were good, but something seemed to be missing for me. If I make them again, I’ll increase the amount of cocoa powder. I’m a true chocolate-lover, so I like intensity!”

  • “These are SO good!Definitely a keeper and regular treat in our home.I used light brown sugar in lieu of dark brown (only because all I had was light), real butter, and a 10 oz. pkg. milk chocolate chunks.YUMMY!Thank you KJ!”

  • “wonderful cookies! A little hard ater a dya but not bad. I veganized the recipe using egg replacer and vegan margerine, and only use 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips instead of the package of chocolate. my omni family loved them! I got 42 cookies out of this (I didn’t count very precisely but it was definitely over 36). Thanks for the recipe! I may try upping the cocoa to 1/3 cup, just for a little extra chocolate. but really, a lovely recpie.”

  • “I loved these. Instead of using chocolate chunks, I used white chocolate chips.They came out great. After cooling, they had the perfect chew to them. Topped it off with a mug of cold milk. Thanks!”

  • “Very good cookies. I added white chocolate and almond instead, since I didn’t have any dark chocolate on hands. I didn’t get 36 cookies (only 26), but they are big and chewy. Yum!”

  • “Yummy!!!!!!!! These are so simple to make and so tasty. Crispy on the outside and chewy in the centre, just how I love choc chip cookies! Thanks for sharing, i’ll definitely be making these again!”
