One of the best cookies I've ever made!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely LOVED these cookies & so did everyone else who ate them! I couldn't find chocolate raspberry chips (yes, I... looked at all 4 major food stores here!) so I used Hershey's Raspberry Bliss, cut each one into 4 pieces for each cookie. So glad that I did, I can't imagine them being any better. I also added a few semi-sweet chocolate chips to each cookie just after they came out of the oven. So moist and chewy! These will be the cookies I take to our Christmas cookie exchange this year. I know they'll be a hit!Read more

Are you kidding?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

ARE YOU KIDDING ME "DISSAPOINTED"? ! ? ! Nutritional Information... Who gives a Rats ba-tootie as we say here in the South... ;). These are cookies... COOKIES!!!!! What do you think the nutritional information is? Ya, they are fat free and sugar free. You gave an AWESOME recipe one star because you could not find the nutritional info.? Give us a break. You wasted your time... go make some raisen bran muffins with your Splenda and quit wasting our time!!!!!!! Ugh people like you just make me gag. OK - please forgive me those of you with maturity and respect for my ranting above. But, this is the second recipe I have come across of Paula's tonight where some "ya- hoo" unfairly posted a one star review on a good recipe because they wanted something to whine about. These cookies came out great for me. I loved them. I cooked them just until they started to puff and then took them out so that they were just right and not "puffy" and dry. Cookies were great and icing was fabulous... I did add more raspberry though because I love the raspberry taste. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Read more

Very good, made a few changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Loved the cookies. I added 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1/4 tsp of salt. i couldn't find the raspberry chips so I used... regular chocolate chips. Worked very well. Next time I'll boost the vanilla a bit. Glaze was thin so I doubled the jam and it also worked well.Read more

Unhappy
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I would be embarrassed to put these in a magazine with my name. Paula, these are much darker brown than pictured. That was... okay. Threw me at first, but the recipe called for cocoa and I followed it to a T. I found the Hershey's raspberry cream-filled dark chocolate baking pieces at Jungle Jim's. One of the largest and best grocery stores in the country. They puffed up and did not spread out as pictured. I did mash real organic raspberries. Strained the seeds out and used this delicious, raspberry juice with the confectioner's sugar. I left out the milk in the icing. I had the perfect consistency for icing and drizzling. They looked beautiful, but would not recommend them based on the chocolate cookie taste. The icing I made tasted fantastic. That was a plus.Read more

Wrong chocolates...I think- but good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I could not find any chocolate raspberry bites, but I did find hersheys bliss with raspberry meltaway center. I do not think... these worked all that great- the flavor is off a bit. They were still good, but not WOW! I will say, they are beautiful with the pink icing drizzled over them. I am going to continue to try to find the right chocolates for this. I think it has major potential!!! Whatever you do, don't discredit Paula for these- her recipes are out of this world!!Read more
