These cookies were good. The only problem I had with them is that after I put them away, they all crumbled! So not very chewy, but soft and chocolately.

Two stars for this cookie as I was very disappointed in how it baked into a typical flat pancake-like cookie. I have been baking for years and have not seen such a flat cookie recipe in about as many. They were hard to remove from my well greased sheet ,even after I let them sit on the sheet for a few minutes to cool off. They are crumbly and not a very solid cookie at all. On a positive note, they are a very tasty cookie. I won't be making these again. sorry, just not happy at all with these.

These are absolutely yum. I used butter-flavored shortening (all I had on-hand) and I added Nestle's mint-and-chocolate swirled chips to them which made them pretty and Christmasy. I did not add nuts because they're going to be gifts and you never know, with nuts. Wanted to say that the photo on this recipe does not reflect the true brownie-ish color these cookies have. The photo makes them look sort of golden but they're truly brown like brownies. I agree with everyone saying "don't monkey with the temp or time in the oven." They'll come out of the oven puffy like gingerbread cookies but let them rest and they flatten out and have a lovely final appearance.

Not the recipe I was hoping for. Soft and cakey, not chewy. Easy enough to follow but not one to keep.

My hubby and kids absolutely love these, but I didn't think they were chocolatey enough. It took almost twice the time for them to cook. Maybe it's my oven. They also didn't spread like most cookies do when they bake and came out very dense. Maybe I did something wrong. Will try again, but next time will melt some chips and add it to the mix. May also substitute butter for 1/2 of the shortening next time. Hubby and kids thank you, Rosina.

These are great brownie-cookies. Followed recipe with one exception: one cup of chocolate chips is enough for me. To dress them up for a Christmas party, add a little pink peppermint frosting & crushed candy canes.

This is an unbelievable recipe. If you like chocolate...you won't be able to stop eating these. Soft, pleasantly chocolately, and chewy is the name of the game for these great treats.

These are Absolutely Wonderful. Didn't have regular shortning, use butter flavored instead with no problem. Someone mentioned the batter not "lickable" & my son agrees but OH MY GOSH what a great little cookie!

Very good. They are very close to a brownie. You don't think they're done after 7-9 minutes, but they are after they set. Very chewy. I'm know for my chocolate chip cookies and my husband said these might even be better than those!

So good! Really rich and chewy, so unless you are a chocoholic, these may be too rich. I looooved them and so did my whole family! I will definitley be making these again!

Excellent recipe; however, I found it strange that this called for so little baking soda and no baking powder when they are soft & chewy cookies - I used 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 baking soda instead of 1/4 and the texture was absolutely divine. Thanks Rosina!

Absolutely heavenly. They are not only soft, but they have this melt-in-your-mouth texture. They were all gobbled up within a few hours of my making them - a huge hit with all my picky brothers and sisters! Tomorrow is my eldest brother's birthday (he's away attending college) and this is what I am sending him in the mail - I'm sure he'll love them as much as we al at home do!!

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!

Everyone loved them. They were very chocolatey and chewy.

really yummy & chocolatey! As per other review, do NOT increase oven temp & bake longer!!! You will burn cookies. I think her oven might be off. I found recipe to be exactly right.

I have to bake Gluten Free for my son and now I am trying to look for casein free too for my friends. When I found this recipe I was thrilled. I used a gluten free flour mix for the regular flour and added 1 teaspoon of xanthan. I also left out the chips and nuts. Voila, a GFCF chewy chocolate cookie that tastes great.

This is a very good cookie. Very much like a brownie. However, I had to increase the baking time to 11 minutes and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. I will probably make them again, as my family really liked them!

The flavor was good, but too sweet. I probably won't make it again. Thanks anyway.
