I should probably be giving these four stars, because I tweaked the original recipe, but they came out so good I'm giving them five! So, I only used two eggs, and about 2 1/2 cups flour. I refrigerated the dough, and then rolled the dough into small balls, rolled the balls in sugar and baked them for 7 minutes. They are soft and chewy, a chocolate version of soft molasses cookies! YUM!

A little more sticky than I would like to make cutouts but was still able to make them. They tasted pretty good too.

Definately an awesome option for families that don't like sugar cookies, but want the fun of cut out cookies. I have made this several times and have figured out to use only 2 eggs if you have jumbo or extra large eggs. Also adding 1T more of Cocoa helps the dough consistancy. It does still need a fair amount of flour when rolling out. The final product tastes like mini brownies. Yummy!

This recipe was okay. I guess it is a nice change from traditional sugar cookies. I did have to add much more flour to make it a consistency that could be rolled out. By following the recipe as written I had a dough with the consistency of frosting - even after refrigeration.

I read the reviews and added one extra cup of flour and they were still too soft (even after chilling all afternoon) to roll. So, I rolled between two sheets of wax paper, used cutter, removed excess, froze the cookies until solid and only then baked. They still didn't hold a fairly simple cut out shape. The no-fail sugar cookie recipe at cakecentraldotcom is much, much better. I think this recipe has too much egg and that's why it's so soft. I'll keep looking.

These taste really good but need about a cup more flour. After reading other reviews I added 1/2 cup flour to the dough and still needed lots of flour to roll them out. I will try making sandwich cookies with them next time, sandwiched with a chocolate, caramel or peanut butter frosting!

I have been baking cookies for about 24 years. I have been making these particular cookies of Robin J for about 3 years. They are delicous. I found that the dough is very sticky. To help that I mix up a combo of confectioners sugar and cocoa. sprinkle that HEAVY on the cutting board. Then I sprinkle that same mixture very heavy on the dough that I have placed on the cutting board. That helps tremendously. My family loves these and begs me to make them. I frost them using a marshmallow creme frosting. Delicous and something not everyone else makes!

These were nice enough for 5 year-old birthday party. They're easy to roll and cut, the flavor is very agreeable. Nothing gourmet about it, though, so will stick to making cute chocolate ducks for kids.

I didn't have time to cool the dough in the fridge, so I just added some more flour. It was very moist. For me this made more than 12 - 6 big and 16 small, so about 15 big. But very nice! Times were about right for the larger ones. Lovely warm with a yummy soft centre. Thank you - what a great recipe!

I am a rather experienced baker, and I found these waaay to sticky to even think about rolling out,even chilled. I needed to make letter "c", so I hand rolled them into logs, shaped and baked. Even thick letters needed only 6-7 minutes to bake so they wouldn't taste burnt. All in all, I wouldn't really recommend them, nor make them again.

Perfect! Just what I expected- and needed! These were great with butter-cream frosting. I needed more flour than the recipe called for, but that can depend on the brand of flour you use. Soft-baked, delicious flavor, easy to frost. Love these!

These cookies turned out wonderful. They roll and cut like a dream. Thank you!

I added a little more cocoa than suggested for a richer flavor. Overall a great cookie. Delicious with simple white frosting

I don't think there was enough flour in this recipe. It seemed too loose to roll out. I added 1/4 cup extra flour and chilled it for 3 hours. Still not rollable. So, I put it in the cookie press. Turned out very well that way.

I made these cookies using a cross shaped cookies cutter to go along with the symbols used at Bible Shcool this week. They tasted like brownies and everyone enjoyed them very much. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Great chocolate taste

Very difficult to work with!

I thought this recipe had a really good texture when you ate it i also loved how you can make this cookie for any ocassion just by using different cookie cutters.
