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)

just needed a little more flour so they wouldn't flatten to much and a little milk to help mix the batter. but they were amazing!

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

this recipe was rediculously delicious!! i would reccommend cooking them for more like 15-20 minutes though because they were a little undercooked after 8-10 minutes. they were yummy, fluffy, and certainly did taste exactly like brownies!! i will defenitly use this recipe for all occasions :)

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.

I made the recipe as written, except that I used butter. They do spread a bit, but I had no problem removing them from an ungreased pan. They have a chewy, somewhat grainy brownie-like texture, which I really like. Excellent.

A very good recipe if you don't have a lot of ingredients on hand, but you do have a chocolate craving! I also lightly greased the cooking sheet first and it made a big difference. I was careful about how close and big the cookie batter was placed as well as warned in other reviews. They don't look pretty but they taste really good!

Excellent recipe. turned out chewy and the sweetness just right. I omitted the walnuts but still tasted good.

I don't know why some people are complaining, this recipe was great! I loved the flavor! It was so good, I was addicted to eating them. I can't wait to make it again!

it was ok, i used 1 cup brown sugar cause i ran out of white and then i used butter instead of margarine, i wouldn't do that next time. the texture of the cookie was very nice tho.

I was looking for chocolate cookies that didn't require chocolate chips. This recipe is just what I wanted. I used butter, since I was out of margarine, and made sure it wasn't too soft. They turned out best when I didn't grease the cookie sheet.

very good! I baked mine in a browie pan so that it was like a cookie bar, and it was GREAT!

These are the BEST cookies that I've ever had. Seriously! I make them whenever I can, and they definitely go fast in my home. I recommend them strongly!

Add a bit of peppermint extract and top with Hershey's Candy Cane or Mint Kisses for a special holiday treat!

they turned out gorgeous, definitely a cousin to the brownie. strong bad could eat a whole batch.

I give this recipe a zero! It was horrible. I followed the recipe. Made one pan of cookies and I had a mess. I couldn't get the cookies off the pan, they all ran together into one big awkward shape, and they were so thin they fell apart when you picked them up. It said to add 2 cups of flour, I put 4 and it still wasn't enough! Whoever came up with this recipe seriously can't cook. I think that this reciped should b removed from this website. The cookies ended up everywhere. I could not even eat one cookies because i couldnt get it near my mouth without it falling to the floor in pieces! It was horrible. I will never use this recipes again.
