I watched these disappear before I had a chance to pack them up as gifts. I made one change, based on an allrecipes video -- I added a teaspoon of ancho chili powder and a couple of liberal grinds of black pepper. This intensified the taste and the depth of the cocoa. I will definitely be commanded to make them next Christmas. They also soften nicely when stored. Great with a glass of milk.

These were not good to me. There was a strange taste to them and they were kind of mushy/mealy.

Made these exactly as recipe is written, and they were great. 8 minutes was the perfect time. I think the other reviewers who got crumbly results cooked for too long. Don't overcook!!! They will be very soft when you take them out, and might look underdone, but let them sit on the sheet for a minute or two after you take them out and they set. THANKS!

Wow. These are perfect! So soft! Soft on the outside and the inside... I have never had a cookie that has stayed like that before. I followed the recipe exactly, except for I let them cool on the pan for about 2 minutes after they were done, then rolled them in powdered sugar only once. They are very soft, so be careful, they fall apart easily at first. Also, my cookies were dome shaped... I don't know how some people got them to be ball shaped... they were still good though. Lastly, I would like to comment that they were not too chocolatey... my family found them to be perfect.

I followed the instructions and the results were perfect. My husband said to give these a "10" rating. These cookies literally melt in your mouth, and have a nice chocolate flavor. Thanks very much Mary Lou!

I thought these would be round like snowballs, but mine came out slightly dome shaped cookies. Maybe I did something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly. I used margarine since I did not have butter. Not what I expected, but the kids enjoyed them.
