These cookies are by far some of my all-time favorites, just as Ellie provides the recipe. However, I have also made a few batches where I added about 4 tablespoons of cinnamon to the batter. The cinnamon gives the cookies a great depth, making them even better!
Yummy with a Twist

These were terrific and so easy to make! I used all-purpose flour and substituted Nestle chocolate/peanut butter chips. They were scrumptious! Most of them were given away in Christmas treat bags so now my husband is asking for more! This recipe will become a family favorite.
Not so hot

I made these according to directions, with the exception of making all the flour be just the all purpose flour (I got the self rising kind, so I don't know if that might have mattered?) but the cookies didn't come out as it should. I don't think the temp at 350 was high enough.
Boring Cookies!

I used top quality ingredients and came up with the most boring cookies I ever ate. In spite of being "triple chocolate" and in spite of the fact that I used Callebut Bittersweet and Milk Chocolate, the cookes have almost no flavor. I would not make these again.
very tasty

these cookies are awesome -- i'm definately going to start paying more attention to ellie's recipes. and they're lower fat. i took ellie's advice and put most of them in the freezer for later; otherwise i would have eaten all of them. Excellent!
Most delicious cookie in the world...

I just made these and they are the best cookie I've made in eons. They're rich with a slightly crispy outside and chewy inside...awesome when they're warm! I only used all-purpose flour, as I didn't have any wheat pastry flour on hand, and I only had semi-sweet chocolate chunks in the house, so I substituted them for the other chocolate. If they taste even better with the original ingredients, then it would be cookie nirvana.
Loved them

I just baked these cookies and they are amazing! If you want a chocolate punch, try these. They're still gooey even after they've cooled! I used walnut oil instead of canola since that's what I had on hand, and I added a touch of cinnamon for depth of flavor. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Ellie! I'm not usually a fan of chocolate chocolate cookies, but this recipe works fabulously!

them!!!! These, as many pointed out, are NOT diet cookies, but rather a heart healthy alternative to full trans fat crap from the supermarket. It's really up to us to learn the meaning of moderation, but anyway....I eat like this coz I like to, thankfully NOT coz I have to...and hopefully eating this way and teaching my kids to will keep us all from ever having to. A SOLUTION TO THE OIL PROBLEM: I learned this a long time ago, don't remember from who, but Ellie has done this in some of her baking: I substituted oil with applesauce and it came out super moist. No oily taste or smell, and without even trying I reduced the fat content a lot without sacrificing taste. I rarely use oil in baking. Applesauce rules lol. So does Ellie!!!

The flavor of the chocolates in this recipe are great. I suggest freezing the batter that you don't use; you might eat them all if you bake all the cookies. If you like a chewy cookies this might not be your favorite recipe.

My daughter (age 3) and I made these cookies and we love them. Ours turned out with a crispy top and a cake-like center reminding me of a devils food cookie (the kind I enjoyed as a kid but will not feed my kids now that I know what's in them)minus the marshmellow. I agree with the reviewer - we need to bake at home because even those with healthy in the title have suspect ingredients. I'm looking forward to raising the next generation of eaters who aren't exposed to hydr oils, high fruc syrup . . . Keep sending the healthy recipes.

Taste, texture, ease of preparation, and the chocolate-Excellent! Bouquets of applause to you Ellie for giving us another great recipe. A delicious cookie without the hydrogenated fats, chemicals, and other harmful additives we Americans don't need to be buying at our supermarkets. I cut down on the sugar a little using 1/4 cup of organic brown sugar and 1/4 cup of organic white sugar and I also used organic canola. Baking at home is almost essential now; there's nothing like a good wholesome chocolate chip cookie for just once in a while (by the way, they freeze beautifully), along with a balanced menu that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, and some high quality protein. ISN'T THIS ELLIE KRIEGER'S MESSAGE? MAKING SMART CHOICES! Thanks again Ellie

User: julie from spring, TX User Rating:
Several people who reviewed this recipe seem to think that because Ellie made it, it must be health food. Make no mistake about it--IT IS NOT LOW FAT, nor is it low cal. It's slightly heart healthier than other cookie recipes, but your waistline will not know the difference. I made it with walnut oil--it's even lower in saturated fat and tastier than canola. Also, a total of only one cup of flour is not enough. These looked a lot thicker on TV. Tasty, but NOT the same.
Very Good and Easy

I agree with Lisa from Texas. These cookies would be perfect if you could figure out how to get rid of the Canola Oil taste. I was a little put-off by the oil smell and I could taste the oil in the cookies. Other than that, they are great. I put them in the fridge hoping that would help and it did a little. Aside from the smell they tasted like a cold candy bar.

I loved the intense chocolate flavor and crunchy nutty taste. I'm on Weight Watchers and was worried about the optional nuts adding too many calories. I used the Foodnetwork fat and calorie counter and found out that adding the optional nuts made this recipe 138 calories instead of 108 calories without the nuts. That's three points per yummy cookie! Thanks, Ellie!
Tasty

User: Lisa from Cypress, TX User Rating:
I thought these cookies overall were tasty; however, I did notice a strong oil flavor that was unappetizing. Maybe next time substitute some oil for light margarine. Otherwise, I loved the chocolate and pecans. I used 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips and 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks. I used regular wheat flour, and replaced the brown sugar with 1/4 cup brown Splenda blend, and replaced white sugar with 1/8 cup Splenda blend. Not much cookie base (lots of goodies) but nevertheless a perfect size for a chocolaty snack. This recipe is right up my alley - I am studying to be a dietition, and I always cook healthy with wheat flour and low fat ingredients.
Great, Great, Great

My goodness, these are tasty. I just made them, and just ate my first one. Yummy, intense, satisfying chocolate flavor. It's hard to believe that these are actually "good" for you (ok, it's not exactly broccoli, but...). I live in Albuquerque (elevation 5,314 feet), so was a little worried about whether or not the recipe would work at high altitude, but it worked out fine. Also worried about the lack of leavening in the recipe, but again, no problems!

I love the chocolate in this recipe and I like others also used just regular whole wheat flour. I love Ellie and wish she had more shows! If anyone has any suggestions for making these more moist, please let me know. I am thinking it may be wise to cook them for less time. Also, I substituted Splenda for sugar and Splenda brown sugar blend for the brown sugar to reduce the calories. You should follow instructions for those products on equivalent measurement.
Tasty but a little grainy

If you can get past the after-taste of the wheat bits in your mouth (like after eating a piece of whole wheat bread), the cookies are VERY good. I would definitely make them again.

These cookies are very good. Only 108 calories per cookie, 6 fat, 1 fiber, which is pretty great considering how delicious they are! They are moist, chocolatey, and full of flavor. I was very skeptical and really thought they wouldn't come out very good. I was SO wrong. They are SO chocolatey and nice and chewy and moist. As someone else said, I used milk and dark chocolate chips instead of the bars and I liked that a lot. These are also very easy to make and don't take long as all. I give these an A++++ they are amazing (just make sure you don't overdo it and eat too many..remember your portion control!!!). Perfect for a quick dessert. :) MORE RECIPES, ELLIE!!!!

To the person who said they followed the recipe except for the kind of flour and leaving the dough in the fridge. I am not the greatest baker but I know that these two changes will make a HUGE difference in the outcome. You can change your mix in's like the kind of chocolate or nuts though. My husband loves dark chocolate and loved these. It was super easy. Everyone who has tried them has LOVED them. Not dry and crunchy at all.

User: Anonymous User Rating:
These cookies are pretty darn tastey and with some modifications will be absolutely fantastic. I used all whole wheat flour and applesauce instead of the oil and the result is a very decadent, rich, and chocolatey cookie. I also added a touch of cinnamon which I will probably leave out next time or reduce the amount. Either way I am going to be making these again and again - they definetly hit the spot. One problem I did have on the first cookie sheet is that my cookies didn't spread at all and I am sure it is because of the applesauce so on the second sheet I pressed the cookies down and they came out perfectly shaped and the right thickness. Thanks Ellie - absolute fanstatic cookie!!
