Sorry to give this a low rating, but I took them to a gathering and brought home about the whole plate and then no one would eat them here at home. The filling has possibilities, but the cookie base was kind of tasteless. Maybe I'm one of those people who like things on the sweeter side. Just not worth the effort or calories for me- sorry!

I made the mistake of not reading the comments until now. Great cookie, but it goes flat. Next time I will put the extra flour in like everyone else. I will make again.

I had a terrible time with these! I followed the tips and added 1/2 cup of flour, then refrigerated the dough. But it was way too dry to even roll into a ball! So I put it all into a sprayed 9x13 dish, added the filling on top, and baked for 35 minutes. They are still warm, but I don't think the consistency will even hold up as a "brownie". I admit that they are good, but it seems that they are too tempermental! Maybe I'll try again when it's not snowing out!

GREAT TASTING! I added 1/2 cup flour (as others suggested) otherwise followed recipe exactly. They still flattened out a little more than I was hoping, so next time I will up the flour a little more. When the cookies cooled I drizzled the tops with melted chocolate chips that I put in a little zip-lock bag that I snipped the corner of. It made them look GREAT...everyone loved them! P.S. I've also tried them with a Devils Food Cake Mix & they were wonderful! Thanks for a keeper!

These were ugly, butyummy! Since they were ugly and I was taking them to work, I decided to put the dough in an 8x8 pan, then put the topping mixture on. These were the best "brownies" I have ever made! I baked them for about 35 mnutes. I just kept checking them. I did end up taking some of the ugly cookies to work and one lady said they were the best cookies she had ever had! NOTE-I am high altitude, about 7000 above sea level, so not sure if they flattened due to that. I may try baking powder next time. (and I did add the extra 1/2 cup or so of flour because they were too sticky to work with). I think I will stick with the brownie version for now!

I had terrible luck with these. When I made the dough it ended up too dry, so I had to add some water which made it very sticky. The cookies ended up flat like everyone stated. These tasted alright, but I will never make them again.

These didn;t turn out quite so well for me. They sounded wonderful, but mine were a complete flop. Someday, I might attempt them again.

I have just found my favorite cookie of all time... Seriously, these are wonderful! I followed the suggestions made by others to add 1/2 c flour to the cookie batter, and they turned out fabulous! Although they're not the prettiest looking cookies, what they lack in appearance is certainly made up by their taste!!!
