These are really delicious. I only had 1 oz. of unsweetened chocolate, so made up the rest with semisweet and it wasn't too sweet. I used my 2 tsp. cookie scoop and just mounded the dough a little to get it close to 1 Tbsp. and baked for 6 minutes on some, 7 on others. We liked the 6 minute ones better because they were so moist inside! I made homemade cream cheese frosting to top them.

Just made them today and I will be making them again,they came out just like they looked on your page. Love them Depending on your oven 9 mins. is just about right but I did 9min &30 min. I found they set up better with the extra 30 min. Love them

Made these cookies for a pot luck and had rave reviews from everyone who tried them. The only thing I did differently was to add a bit more flour because the batter seemed a little loose. Could have been the weather that day. Regardless I will make these again and again
