This makes a great simple dough to roll out and cut with cookie cutters. I didn't have mollases and needed a brown cookie for dog bone shaped cookies. So this was perfect! I like the hint of cinnamon and doubled the chocolate as suggested by others. I baked for 10 minutes. Recipes with shortening will be crispy if you bake too long, so it's better to underbake if you don't want a crispy cookie. Definitely worth a try!

Was looking for a nice chocolaty sugar cookie, this one is not it, has a dull flavor.

These cookies were not chewy, but more crunchy like a snap cookie. We also had trouble rolling them out, so we ended up just rolling them into balls and then rolling them in sugar before baking. They are a nice change, not too chocolaty.

Pretty good flavor--not too chocolatey or cinnamony. However they were not chewy, but a nice crisp cookie to ice for Christmas or Valentine's Day. Don't put too close together on the cookie sheet though, because they do grow!!!

I doubled up on the chocolate and the sugar, but these cookies still were not very chocolatey. The cinnamon pretty much takes over the flavor, and I wouldn't exactly describe them as "chewy". However, I still give these cookies a higher rating, because they are quite tasty and they are still a nice change for cut out cookies. I also varied the recipe and drizzled white chocolate on top.

I'm sorry, but these were not so hot. They tasted ok without sprinkles & icing, (A little like "Teddy Grahams") but once the icing was on, they were too hard to counteract the icing. Everyone thought these looked odd being chocolate too. :(
