Reviews
The idea is amazing. It required too many tweaks in my opinion. Ingredients needed: sugar, browned butter, 1/2 brown sugar, vanilla, walnuts and more sugar. You have to be a lover of unsweetened chocolate to enjoy this recipe as it is written. The batter had so little sugar that it was salty. I ended up chilling the batter then pounding each tablespoon of dough in sugar before rolling them into balls and dusting them with sugar again before baking. The timing on the cookies was perfect though. I will never make this base recipe again, but with the extra love and emergency sugar kneading, these are darn good cookies. The recipe idea is where the extra star came from.
Very unimpressed..looked very unappetizing and taste was strange to say the least .For a cookie they were anything but sweet..only 1 1/2 tbs sugar? I was certain that was a typo but stuck with it and regretted the decision. No one even wanted to eat the cookie dough. We ate 2 and threw the rest away
These are delicious chocolate cookies filled with surprise flavor chunks. I used a tablespoon size cookie scoop to measure them out. The only thing I did differently from the recipe was to use Hershey baking size kisses instead of breaking up the candy bars.
