I made this recipe for a jewelry party I was hosting and I had mixed reviews. I personally thought these were VERY cocoa-laden and I probably will cut the cocoa down to 2-2.5 tablespoons next time. However, one of my friends completely LOVED these cookies and took a whole plate home with her! I ate these cookies when I was a kid, and I can't find a recipe that yields that familiar taste. But these were overall very good (just a bit too chocolate-y for my tastes).
ALSO: I used one cookie sheet covered with wax paper and filled up the cookie sheet with cookies to set. I then put another layer of wax paper over the cookies and put more cookies on top (because I didn't have another cookie sheet). This was a BAD idea ~ when the cookies had set, the top layer of cookies were sticking to the wax paper and I had to slide a knife underneath each cookie to get them off the wax paper (otherwise, the cookies were breaking as I tried to pull them away from the paper). Maybe a more experienced baker would know NOT to put two layers of non-hardened cookies on top of each other (even with wax paper between them), but I wasn't aware of this! :)
