These are a smash hit! My tips would be 1) add 1/4 cup more flour, 2) refrigerate for at 20-30 minutes or more 3) make them uniform and round as possible since they do spread and they spread unevenly. Making them look pretty was not easy but they taste like decadent truffles but in a cookie shape. I sliced up caramels and garnished each cookie in the center with a caramel slice.

Followed the recipe almost exactly and the cookies were perfect. The only change I made was adding an ounce or 2 of dark chocolate espresso bar to the melted chocolate.

I made these for a cookie exchange and they were by far the most popular. Everyone wanted the recipe! Followed recipe exactly except for 2 small changes. used 3 tablespoons of butter instead of 2 only because my chocolate wasn't metling very evenly. Also after adding the chocolate chips let the dough chill for 45 minutes to an hour. The more solid the dough is the easier to ball up the dough so the cookies have a nice shape. Gooey inside and delicious with sea salt! Wonderful recipe

I really wanted to like these. They were just ok. Didn't leave me wanting more and I didn't gift them to my mother in law as planned. They are quite pretty and easy to make. Just not my cup of tea!

These are fantastic! I melted the chocolate in the microwave rather than a double boiler, which made the recipe super easy. I also added another 1/4 cup of flour and let cool in fridge about a half hour. Spooned easily onto parchment paper. I baked them a little longer than the recipe called for to ensure they were done, even though the recipe stresses to not over bake. I think this helped. They are a really rich cookie but so addicting! I really only recommend these for a chocoholic! :)

This recipe did not work. Even after tripling the flour and chilling the dough, the cookies flattened out completely within the first three minutes of cooking time.

This is a great recipe. It's like a grown up version of the chocolate chip cookie. I've made these four times now to bring to social functions. Each time mine was one of the first empty plates. The key really is to not over bake. Using a nonstick sheet or a silpat is also a big help.

I was so sad that these didn't turn out. Even after chilling they spread out too much. They have a good taste, but didn't stay together. :(

So good, would definitely make again! I was VERY nervous when the dough looked more like brownie batter! But after refrigerating for 15 minutes it was perfect for scooping dough. Mine were not as beautiful as the pictures, but still very, very tasty!
