These cookies, which start with a mix, are unbelievably decadent! I like to use caramel-filled Dove chocolates. It’s nice dough to make ahead, roll into balls and freeze for up to 3 months. Then just bake the cookies as you need them. —Carole Holt, Mendota Heights, Minnesota

My cookies also spread out thinner than I was expecting, but that did not keep them from being incredibly delicious! I subbed semisweet chocolate for the unsweetened, and kosher salt instead of sea salt. I found them to be the tastiest with a heavier sprinkle of salt than the pic shows. We couldn't stop eating these.

This was a disaster! The cookies baked up big and thin, so when I put the candies in they soaked through and broke all apart when I tried to transfer them. So...second batch, I put the bater in paper cups in my mini muffin tin. Results? Perfect! Looks just like the picture! So my final assessment is, good recipe, lousy directions.

These are thebomb.com. My Thanksgiving guests LOVED them. I am making them again to take to a cookie swap this weekend. Thanks for a great recipe! (I use the caramel Dove chocolates, too.)

I also was looking forward to trying these. I had the same thing happen as thanewm the dough looked more like cake batter and the cookies were very thin. Unfortunately, these were a disappointment to me.

I was excited to make these, but the dough seems really soft and they spread out more than the picture shows. Could it be that the sugar cookie dough only came in 16 1/2 oz. size? Any suggestions? The taste really good but tend to be fragile when so flat.
