These were very tasty, however I found a different type of raspberry chocolate to use. As someone else said, these DO NOT spread, so if you leave them in ball-shape what you get will be one round little cookie. I really liked the icing, however, it made too much to cover all the cookies. Lastly, I think you could probably leave out the enormous amount of cocoa powder... they turned out a lot browner than the image.

I tried these some time last year and loved the cookies, then was no longer able to find the Hershey's pieces. After going on the Hershey website and then actually speaking to someone, I found out that they had been discontinued in 2008 sometime. The company said that if enough people were to contact them, there might be a chance to have them "reinstated". (They also made a great chunk with creamy mint center.
I was upset to see Paula making them on a recent show, as I can imagine that someone "new" may want to try the recipe and be as frustrated as I was.

I did find the chocolate. I used the Ghiradelli brand, it was raspberry filled, and i chopped it up and added a little more chocolate chips as was suggested. These did not spread so i lightly pressed down before baking. Great cookie everyone loved it and wanted cookie recipe. will be adding to my christmas cookie list next year.

Absolutely delicious! I followed advice from previous reviewer who suggested making alterations as follows: Did not use raspberry filled chocolates as I couldn't find. I used 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips instead. All other ingredients stayed the same. Then, before baking, I made a thumb print (spray your thumb with Pam first! in the cookie. Add 1/2 tsp seedless raspberry jam. We did NOT top with glaze as it is perfectly sweet!

As it is Christmas time, my daughter added different candy sprinkles (in red, white, & green to add color after cookies cooled a couple of minutes. She also sprinkled some with powdered sugar lightly. Very pretty! And very tasty!

I just got done making these and they turned out AWESOME!! I put 3 T of raspberry preserves in the butter/sugar mix, added dark chocolate pieces and some chopped walnuts. I also used baking soda instead of powder. They turned out super and the glaze made the cookie! (I used about a Tablespoon of milk. These will be made often!

I was making cookies for my sons' wedding reception. He and his lady are in love with raspberry flavors.

I made two changes to the recipe. I used dark chocolate chips and added 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons raspberry extract. The dark chocloate flavor mixed with the sweet raspberry was a winning combination. I'll definitely make these again and again.

I made a few enhancements to this cookie and they turned out to be some of the best cookies I've ever had!
First, I put in 2 Tbsp more of the cocoa powder cause I love a super chocolatey cookie. I also threw in a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
Then, i dropped the cookies onto my sheet and put a good thumb print in each and filled them with raspberry jam, about 1/2 tsp I took a small piece of dough, maybe a tsp or so, and formed a thin little blanket with my fingers and laid it on top of each cookie so the jam was completely covered. Baking time was the same.
I made some cookies first without jam and then with, just in case they came out wierd. The cookies without the jam came out kind of dry (probably b/c I added the extra cocoa to the flour instead of replacing it and the raspberry flavor didn't come through at all. (My local store didn't have the chocolate bar Paula used. The closest I could find was a milk chocolate raspberry liquid filled bar. It clearly wasn't a good choice for this cookie. But the cookies with the jam came out absolutely incredible! Super moist and chewy and bursting with raspberry flavor! The sweetness was just right, I didn't use the icing it would have been too sweet.
Try the jam, its awesome!!!!!!!!
