These are fantastic. I've made them twice, once following the recipe with melted chocolate chips and once using a cocoa-based substitution for a 12 oz bag of chips. Instead of the chips, I used 3/4 cup of cocoa, 3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 cup of butter (shortening would also have worked, and maybe vegetable oil as well, though it might have messed with the texture; I'll have to test it). I melted the butter and sugar with the rest of the recipe and added the cocoa powder right before removing from heat, stirring very well to avoid those powdery lumps. No discernable difference in the final product. Have used and will continue to use in my Christmas gift-giving.
