Here's a snack for serious chocolate lovers. These enticing cookies are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, somewhat bittersweet and very chocolaty. I usually make them to share at get-togethers...otherwise, I'd eat them all myself! I'm always asked for the recipe. -Delaine Fortenberry, McComb, Mississippi

I've been making these for several years now. Every Christmas all my friends ask if I'm making them because they want them. I make them several times a year and they are always a big hit. I make them small because they are so rich.

Very yummy, I made quite a few for a Christmas cookie swap and they went over very well.

This is a family favorite that I must make every Christmas! It has an amazing, rich, intense, gooey, chocolate flavor best served warm.

This recipe is too much trouble for me to make more than once a year. After chilling the mixture for three hours in the fridge, it was rock hard and broke a spoon. Forming the mixture into balls was not a pleasant experience. Even though I formed them into perfect balls, they still flattened in the oven.

Not worth the time.

very good if you are wanting a chocolate fix

If you are looking to have a chocolate exclamation point in your Christmas cookie selection - this recipe is it! Kind of like molten chocolate lava cake in a cookie form. I omitted the powdered sugar dusting and think they taste better and less messy to eat (who needs evidence anyway?) This recipe ROCKS!

I made these for my nephew Nick for Christmas but his whole family loved them. They are perfect for the chocoholic. Thank you!

This delectable treat has been on my Christmas cookie tray every year for over a decade. And, it's not losing its place anytime soon! In fact, I am adding it to our Easter brunch menu this year.

I made these at Christmas and my 18 year old son loved them. His birthday was last week and he has never been a cake lover so I made these cookies as his birthday treat. What a hit! I put candles on them and everyone loved them with a scoop of ice cream.
