These soft chocolaty cookies can be easily altered to make several different varieties—I've added everything from mints to macadamia nuts to them. My husband an I live on a mixed farm with our young daughter and son. Among my favorite hobbies are gardening and baking.

Good, but not great. They were too crispy on the outside for me.

these cookies were SOO good. lightly crisp on the outside, and almost brownie like on the inside. also, not too sweet!

Very easy. I left out the white chocolate chips and it was very tasty. The sour cream makes these light and fluffy.

I am always trying new recipes for my pastry company and had to try these after reading all of the great reviews. They turned out wonderful! They were chocolaty and rich-very delicious. I had a hard time telling when they were done ("set" wasn't that obvious) so I just took them out after 14 minutes and the texture turned out great. They were fast and easy to make and used ingredients that I always have on hand. I love cookie recipes that don't call for long periods of refrigeration!

Discovered quite by accident that these cookies are MARVELOUS chilled. Just pop one in the fridge half an hour before eating. Reminds me of something from my childhood - glad to be reunited with such a treat!
