the cake portion did not come out as fluffy as I wanted

cookie portion was good, but the filling was awful. It ran out of the cookies and made a mess.

I tried this recipe to give to my co-workers as Valentine's treats. They loved it! It's very rich but not too sweet of a treat!

These are delicious. Like someone else said, I needed to make them smaller. The frosting is out of this world. I am making them again tonight at my husband's suggestion, but adding peanut butter in the frosting.

Very tasty but took a long time to make.

The filling was runny, and the cake didn't have a good chocolate taste.

These are dee-licious! I made them for my grands, but of course tasted them first. The icing will be great on any cake.

They remind me of ice cream sandwiches - just not cold

I thought they were great, loved the filling, decreased flour amount, increased cocoa for chocolatier taste. Only one complaint, dropping on cookie sheet by tablespoon full was too large, spread out too much, so I made them smaller by the teaspoon full. But I did love them and ate them all up!
