Cookies tasted ok, but not great. Was more like one big super thin crispy brownie than individual cookies, the batter all melted together and did not form the thick chewy cookies I was hoping for.

I've made these twice now and they came out perfect both times. Everyone who has tried them wants the recipe. I didn't even have the recipe the first time. I kept watching the video and writing down what I saw them do.

I read quite a few reviews, some the good ones and some not so much. I decided to go ahead with it anyway. I did take a poster's suggestion to add nuts. OMG! They were fantastic. My children couldn't get enough. I did let them sit overnight, as I was concerned about it not setting up. My guest's loved them. They are softer, like brownie consistency. I am doing them today again.
I think that the people are not getting the right consistency must be doing something wrong..maybe the flour? I am cutting back on the butter slightly this time, too.
Happy Baking..

Bless her heart - I grew up in the deep South and if you have a family secret, it stays one.

Welllllll - after reading reviews, i decided do some research and guess what I found out?

Use Baking POWDER if you use Dutch Choc ($10 for 8oz and Baking SODA if you use Hershey's Cocoa or the like. Thus the varied results.

Also, 2 and 1/2 sticks of butter = 1 1/4 cups of butter.

I followed the recipe exactly, I chilled in the fridge as described, baked a batch and they all spread together and were inedible, so I chilled overnight, same consistency, froze a couple hours, didn't help. They spread together again and didn't look appetizing at all. No idea what went wrong, I didn't change anything from the recipe. Pretty disappointed :/

these are wonderful and I had no problems. I wonder though if people who had too big of a oily mess realize that 2 1/2 sticks of butter, that's only 1 1/2 cups... 1 stick = 1/2 cup.... but i had no problems at all - and they are oh so yummy!!!

this is totally my new favourite choc cookie recipe - and the new secret weapon for impressing friends - super easy (made it with my 3yr old's help : and visually spectacular result with top notch taste and flavour. I did cut back to 100g of butter as one review suggests but i think anyone who complains of excess oil or messiness probably forgot the flour ( i nearly did. highly recommended recipe. would be easy to adapt toppings to suit occasions as well ( i put some choc chips on some, could do smarties, etc.

I followed exactly and it was too greasy, oily and flat for me. I regret having wasted the ingredients and having to clean up so many greasy pans. I wished I had read all the one-star reviews before I tried this recipe. I tried twice and failed both time. I wish I could meet at least one person who tried this recipe successfully.
