I read most of the reviews for this recipe, and agree that chilling the dough first is a good idea. Most chocolate brownie cookie recipes work better with the dough chilled. I did cut back the butter that is listed to 3/4 cup this help to make the cookies stand up rather than spread out. All in all it is a good recipe and the cookies are delicious.

My family really liked these cookies. I refrigerated the dough about 20 min. before making the balls, lightly sprayed the cookie sheets with no-stick spray and made small balls. I didn't have any problems with sticking or spreading and they were good-looking small round cookies. I actually would like to give these a 4 and a half stars.

GREAT cookies! I think the people who have complained might have used low-cholesterol margerines, which are not good for baking. Be sure to look for "Great for Baking!" on the labels, and never use a whipped margerine for cooking. I actually didn't have any baking margerine so I substituted 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup butter-flavored shortening. They turned out great! I added some pink Komen Foundation M&Ms into the mix for a little extra color and chocolate. :-)

My sister-in law said she used it in a 9x13 pan for brownies instead. I tried it and it was awesome!

I threw these together last-minute to take to a potluck at work. They were so quick and easy, and I was able to make them with basic ingredients I had on hand. One comment I got was that they had "the perfect chocolate flavor."

This recipe made beautiful cookies! I used 2 sticks(1 cup) of butter instead of margarine, and baked them for 6.5 minutes and they turned out awesome! Very chocolatey and just the right amount of chewy. I had no problems with them sticking to the pan.

I really liked these. I wanted some cookies but didn't have any chocolate chips. I left out the nuts and put a full cup of cocoa powder in them and they are yummy. Almost like a brownie, but not. They turned out perfect. Didn't stick to the greased cookie sheet. I will keep this recipe in the books! **UPDATE** I kept these cookies in a container on the counter and they lasted a long while (I made a lot!). They stayed soft and chewy. Some people said they got better every day! Love these cookies!!

I love this recipe! (First I made it to a tee, just a little flat that time) And I can't make cookies to save my life. Second time - I didn't add the vanilla (didn't have any) and no salt, used baking powder rather than soda (didn't have any again ;) there is a reason I can't bake)and whole wheat flour. first batch was flat so I added about 1/2 cup more flour and they are fantastic.. definatly taste like a brownie and didn't have an issue with the pan

After reading the reviews, I was reluctant in making these cookeie. THEY TURNED OUT AWESOME!!! I did use a SilPat cookie sheet liner while baking and I kept them to a teaspoon drop per each cookie. Be brave and try to make them before you "write them off." They are super easy and require minimal ingredients. They are worth it and I can't wait to take them to a party or cookout this summer.

I loved these cookies. They really were like eating a brownie. I think that they would also be very good with some pecans or fudge. Thanks I will be making these again. :)

Very tasty but...first batch were very flat and undercooked. Second batch, cooked 2 minutes longer were a bit better but still too undercooked. I used one user's tip about cooking for 15 mins and were much better and not quite as flat but were a little crunchy around the outside...just the way I like 'em! I read recently that if your baking soda is expired it will cause your cookies to flatten. I'll try again with some "fresher" baking soda. Also, here's a great tip: if your cookies are too crunchy for your liking, put them in a sealed container with a slice of bread and within a day they're perfect!! The longer they sit in the container, the softer they will become.

I thought this recipe was great! As far as the cookies setting up, I found it helpful to use cold margarine and using a little extra flour to make more of a dough consistency, then putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes, before spooning onto the cookie sheet.

Really good recipe, with just a few changes I made to make them cholesterol-free and keep them from getting flat...Use baking powder instead of baking soda, and the cookies will hold their shape more. Also I substituted the margarine with butter flavored shortening and peanut butter--this also helps keep them from flattening out. I also used egg beaters and whole grain wheat flour. Even the kids thought they were FANTASTIC, even though they were "healthy". Great basic recipe, thanks!!!

Our family LOVES these! They're simple to make and sinfully good. I've made them many times and they have always come out great. I used baking stones, so I added about 7 minutes to the baking time. I would strongly reccomend this recipe. (I once decorated them with a swirl of peanut butter frosting. It was a nice twist on the flavor)

These cookies are very good. The recipe makes big, flat chewy cookies. They are great with whipped cream on them.

They taste great, but the cookies came out totally flat. It surprised me because the batter was really thick when I spooned it out. They're definitely chewy and chocolately but way too thin for my liking.
