I used two eggs instead of one and added a little bit of milk to make the dough easier to work with.
Very yummy

I made these last night but also tweeked the recipe.. instead of a whole stick of butter, I did half & I also added 3 tablespoons of milk. This made the cookie very moist and not dry at all. They baked perfectly in 15 mins. But due to the fact that these dont spread out, you have to spread them to the length youll want them. Enjoy :

While these are easy to prep I think there are better recipes out there. Had to tweak the baking time and depending on the cookie sheet I used, the cookies came out looking differently. The texture with a lighter colored pan was more like a shortbread and with a dark pan was more chewy like a traditional c.c. cookie. Finding them more chocolate-y than sweet tasting I put sugar over the tops of them when they came out of the oven. That said they are a nice little cookie that would take well to add-ins: mini chips, nuts, sprinkles on top, etc. Again, watch the baking time - it's hard to tell with the darkness of the dough just when these are ready, that may be why some are getting a dry cookie. Take them out when a little underdone and let them continue to "cook" as they sit on the sheet for another minute or two.
