These came out perfect! I followed the advise and put the dough in the fridge for about 20 min and again between batches. That made it stiff enough to roll in the sugar. I will be making these again and again!

I can always count on these to be soft! Other recipes for crackles I have used don't always turn out that way and that is the consistency I love and remember from my childhood. It is important to refrigerate the dough (and return to fridge if it gets too soft) to make it more manageable to roll into balls.

The taste was fine. Who doesn't like brownies? But, the batter was not stable enough to roll in the powered sugar. Total disaster! Disappointing to say the least.

These cookies are so easy to make. I make gift baskets for friends and neighbors and they always want these in them.

I found this recipe a couple of years ago in one of my TOH mags. It quickly became THE most requested holiday cookie that I make!!

These were good, but not outstanding. I had a tough time rolling the batter in powdered sugar - the dough seemed too gloopy. But the finished product was still fine.
