Chill the dough overnight and scoop with a sturdy 1tsp scoop and you can save yourself much of the mess!

DELICIOUS! My mother made these every Christmas when I was growing up, so my son and I made these together. I was out of baking squares, so I used 3 tbsp. baking cocoa powder and 1 tbsp. butter for each square needed (12 tbsp. powder and 4 tbsp. extra butter). It worked just fine! We also had some extra Brach's chocolate stars, so we put them on top of some of the cookies, but they really are perfect just the way they are!

Delicious! Made them sort of small, so there were lots! Sort of chewy like a small bite of brownie.

These were awesome! I tried several different recipes and all of them cake out cakey, but this one was soft and chewy and fudgey with the slightest hint of crispness around the edges. I could use a bit more chocolate flavor and a tiny bit less sweetness and I think a bit of vanilla extract would help round the flavor out a bit, but these were a big hit. Definitely allow more time than you normally would for rolling them into balls, though....people weren't kidding about the messy part. I measured out 5 balls at a time and then put the bowl of dough (almost batter) in the freezer while I rolled the balls in the sugar and arranged them on the plate and then washed the excess off my hands and this method seemed to make them a bit easier to work with, but it took much longer than most cookies you back from rolled balls.

Lots of eggs make these cookies soft and cakey, with a little crunch on the outside. I used 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate and 1/3 cup butter, and added maybe 1/8 cup more of flour, as the cookies aren't chocolatey enough otherwise. We added a mixture of butterscotch, milk chocolate and semisweet chips to the second half of the batch, and it really added something -- just increase the baking time by 2 minutes if you're adding chips. The mess from the dough can be controlled by putting the dough in the freezer for 1/2 hour before making the cookies.
