Hi S, I suspect that the batter might need to be chilled if it didn’t firm up enough sitting at room temperature.

Dear Michelle,

first of all, I would like to thank you for sharing your recipes and experience with us on your blog. However, there are a few things I would like to indicate.

My friend and I have just finished baking your cookies, or so we thought they ought to be! I will not say they are not utterly delicious, but they look horrific ! We have a dinner tomorrow, and this is a complete if not utter disaster!!

I do not know what went wrong, for we followed your instruction to the tee.

The outcome was more of a sheet of chocolate instead of cookies! Please give us your feedback, for it will be much appreciated.

Thanks again for your time and effort.

your,
S.

I made these last night, testing them out as an option for an upcoming cookie exchange. They. are. amazing. I let the batter sit for about 15 minutes, and they weren’t runny at all. Also, this batch made about 35 cookies! Thanks for the great recipe! Now I just have to stop eating them!

Just recently moved to australia from colorado and living in a share house with about 15 others. Made these for our “makeshift” thanksgiving…seeing how everyone else is european, and they all loved it!! I was worried because the dough was runny, but turned out great. Thank you! Just another bonding experience for the roommates!

You don’t have to if for some reason you don’t want to, but it does add to the chocolate flavor of the cookies.

Hi, do we have to add the extra cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips? Will it make a difference in the taste?

I did these cookies today – they are great! I’m from Austria, so I blog in German, but if you like, you can visit my blog and take a look at the pictures I made. I added orange zest to the dough and decorated them with orange icing and a bit of leftover orange zest.

Thanks for the recipe!

I attempted these gorgeous badgirls! I halved the recipe and the results were okay. Mine look moer like what a typical chocolate chip cookie would look like in appearance. How did yours come out with such a glossy finish and stayed together? mine spread out a bit.

I was wondering the same thing! I thought I’d take a stab at it and made them substituting plain ol’ unsweetened cocoa powder and vegetable oil for the bittersweet chocolate (3 tablespoons cocoa powder + 1 tablespoon oil = 1 oz. bittersweet chocolate), then mix that with the 4 tablespoons butter (I just melted it slightly and mixed into the cocoa mixture). They turned out great, just like the pictures! And boy are they fudge-y! I think this way might also eliminate the liquid-y issue some are having since it’s never very warm to begin with. Mine were very easy to scoop. Thanks for the great recipe, Michelle!

I have had these on my list for some time…and I can’t believe I just didn’t take the time to make them before. They are absolutely delicious and the chocolaty smell throughout the house is simply intoxicating! What a great recipe – it’s forever saved in my recipe box!

I’ve made these cookies multiple times, and they are delicious! One time, the batter did spread while baking, but I used foil with nonstick spray to line the tray, so that was probably the problem. Thanks for the recipe!

The half cup of flour is indeed accurate. I had great success with this recipe, and the cookies are fabulous. Many readers have had the same result, while others have had trouble with the batter being too thin. It does need to sit to thicken up and can be helped along by refrigerating it until it’s the consistency of fudge.

This recipe does not work as posted. Is the half cup of flour called for accurate? I ended up with batter, not dough, and I should have added flour to the batter until it thickened. However, I just poured it in a pan and baked it like brownies, but even that never set up properly. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, or corrections to the recipe.

Hi Lena, They are meant to be on the thin side so they have that fudgy texture of brownies. I would try chilling the dough longer, if they spread a little too much.

These turned out so yummy! They were a big hit at the party I brought them to

I have one question though: is there a way to make them thicker? They turned out really thin and were kind of flimsy as I took them off the sheet, but I don’t think I made any missteps. Would adding more baking powder do anything?

I just made these tonight and they are delicious! I feared they might be too runny but they came out perfect. No need to add salt or extra flour
Thanks for sharing.

I tried this recipe I think 3 times…. but always seems really runny, even cooling the melted chocolate completely (as recommended), and letting the batter sit for 30 mins… Nothing happened.. Though the last time is not a pure success (I achieved that nice shiny-crackly top), but it came out almost a cookie-like except really really thin and it stick to the pan (even though I used parchment paper) and fell apart when removed..I found a BROWNIE-COOKIE recipe from Martha Stewart (Outrageous Chocolate Cookies) and had a very huge success at my first try… But I still want to achieve that cookie texture in the pictures that I can’t stop thinking how can I perfect this recipe and trying this out..hehe
