Made these today for my daughter's bake sale at school..sure they'll love them! The one thing I did discover is that in between baking I had to return the dough into the fridge. It was sticky and hard to roll them, but otherwise a good recipe! of course I had to taste test them...mmmmmmm! lol!

These were good although mine were kind of hard. I might have overbaked them. It's easy to do because of the color.

Delicious and easy! I substituted half a cup of safflower oil for Crisco and it turned out fantastic! The cookies taste light and are not overly sweet due to using unsweetened chocolate. I highly recommend this recipe.

I make these every year. One of my husband's sisters got the recipe in her home ec class many years ago. The only difference in the recipe is instead of shortening it uses the same amount of butter. I've substituted shortening but I can taste the difference. I omit the nuts and I roll my cookies into a ball about the size of a golf ball, then take them out while the center is still a little gooey since they still cook a bit while cooling. When it's holiday time, I always have friends call me to see if I've made them yet!

My mom made these quite a bit when I was growing up and I have carried on the tradition. Our whole family loves these. DO NOT OVERBAKE. IF YOU OVERBAKE them they will be very dry. When you take them out of the over the should look a little "wet" between the cracks and will be rather soft to the touch. After cooling, they become firmer.

These cookies were rich and delicious and worth the small extra effort involved. I don't recommend only cooking half the dough and saving the rest for cooking later, though. My second batch, cooked a couple days later, were noticeably drier and crunchier. But they were really great dipped in my coffee :)
