    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.

    I thought this was a great little chocolate cookie. I threw in a couple tablespoons of milk to moisten the dough a little, but overall I loved these cookies. The flavor was great, and I used cocoa powder from my local discount grocery store.

    I was doubling the recipe but it was very dry and so I decided to add milk which made it not to gooey but softer batter and it turned out great! A crowd pleaser for sure. I will definatley make these cookies again!

    These chocolate cookies taste good enough to ignore the fact that the dough is dry. The cookies don't do much spreading on their own, but the flavor is great. I used Dutch process cocoa as directed, and I think it's worth it.

    I made these cookies yesterday for some friends. Every single ones went in mins. I use the suggestion for the milk and I put in alittle maple extract. The dough looked too dry without the milk. They are really yummy!

    These are fantastic! I used a high grade cocoa and it was worth it. Dusted with powdered sugar to top it off. Easy to make. The kids hand rolled, no need for a scooper- not that serious. Easy recipe for kids to follow start to finish.

    Pretty good cookies. I didn't use a scooper so i had some smaller cookies and some that were a bit larger, and I found that the smaller ones came out perfect at 12 minutes in my oven. I will try some of the variations and see if I can't find one with a bit more of a kick.

    I found these to be a good basic chocolate cookie. Using a scoop to measure out 12 cookie balls per sheet, I only had enough dough for 21 cookies. They do not spread, so be prepared for a small dome shaped cookie. Do not over bake. It's difficult to judge whether the cookie is done because of the dark color. Err on the side of 12 minutes. The chocolate taste is good, although not fantastic. I drizzled some chocolate glaze on top to add some more depth to the chocolate flavor. Perhaps some melted chocolate in addition to the cocoa powder would increase the chocolate flavor.
