With some revision I found these cookies to be quite tasty. As suggested previously, I added 1 tsp. vanilla and a pinch of salt. I also used cocoa instead of melted chocolate. The conversion is as follows: 1 square of chocolate = 3 Tbs. cocoa and 1 Tbs. butter. I used 9 Tbs. cocoa and 3 Tbs. butter so I did up the chocolate content, but they came out with a really nice chocolate flavor. To make them a bit healthier I used one cup of whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour and raw sugar instead of the white. The consistency was just right and that may have been because I used the whole wheat flour. I would definitely make these again.

Just made these without the walnuts but with Reese's peanut butter chips for my husband. I added the dash of salt and a tablespoon of vanilla & they turned out amazing! I made my cookies big, so I got a yield of 18.

In my recipe, I incorporated the suggestions that others gave here, adding 1/2tsp salt, and about 11/4tsp vanilla, as well as about 1/2c more flour. My audience was after crunchy cookies, so I spread them thin and baked for 20min. They turned out pretty well, I'd say. I didn't taste much of the sour cream, as I was hoping to, though I will say, the sour cream was probably what gave the cookies a velvety texture. I only made half the batch, so this time I'll try it after having set in the fridge overnight. Also, perhaps I'll try a dollop of sour cream on top after baking (just for good measure). :)

These were okay. I did add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp. of vanilla as others recommended, but definitely not chocolatey enough for me. They did stay soft even 2 days later.

Great! I had a HUGE tub of sour cream from Costco and this was a great combination for a chocolate lover. I read a few reviews before I made it and agreed to double (triple) the chocolate. They turned out great and like cake! We used macadamia nuts because we have a tree growing near us here and hand picked them. That made them even better to us. I would use this recipe again.

Really tasty! I made with white whole wheat flour (it was all I had!) and they weren't unbearably heavy. Also, not tremendously sweet, which I like.

To a doubled recipe,I added half again as much chocolate, 1 tsp, vanilla, 1 tsp salt and 2 cups mini M & Ms. They turned out great and tasted wonderful! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I liked these better after they cooled ... the flavor isn't very strong. Maybe some extra cocoa powder would kick them up a bit, but they aren't bad. I loved the soft, cakey texture. I'll make these again. I did add vanilla (1 tsp).
