The secret is to boil the mixture for 4-6 min... the longer you boil the more the sugar carmelizes and the quicker the cookies will set up once you remove them from the heat. If they look a little watery (like my first batch did) then just let the mixture set for a few min before spooning them out on the wax paper. These are so delicious!!! I've made them several times. With and without peanut butter... you can add almost anything to these cookies. I've even made coffee almond ones! I also use dark chocolate cocoa and it makes them even more decadent. I will continue to make these for a loooong time!

This recipe is delicious! I've always loved my mother's deviled eggs and I was afraid to even try to make some that would compare to her's. This is it! WATCH THE SALT CONTENT... the second time I made them I added a little too much salt. 1/8 tsp is plenty. Also I let them sit and then poured cold ice water over them and let them sit for 15 min as per other reviews. They peeled nicely. I hit them on the counter and then roll back and forth until the entire egg shell is broken up. Kind of like how you get a lemon or lime ready to squeeze. I've made them twice... the first time I doubled the recipe and took them to a potluck. They were gone in minutes. Quick, easy and delicious!

These were pretty good! Next time I will add some more cocoa or some semi sweet chips to help it taste a little more chocolatey. I used the amount of flour is asked for, but I added a chocolate pudding cup and I think that made them moist. I also added 1 tbsp of instant coffee... so yummy! :)
