After reading the reviews I decided to use a little less butter in the batter. But I still had a problem with the cookies being to thin when spread out on the cookie sheet. I think they had a great flavor and I cooked them for 12 minutes so they did not burn. But I do believe the batter was to dense.

This recipe was a failure. The dough was too dense and the cookies burned before cooking. Even with the cocoa the chocolate flavour was lacking. Will not use again.

I must say also, I think there may be a misprint possibly? I think the recipe needs more flour or less butter. Perhaps this can be researched? As I stated the dough was delicious, but baking off for me was a disaster.

I was very disappointed in this cookie. I followed the recipe to the point. I scooped onto my sheets with a small ice cream scoop. They spread out FLAT! I could not get them off of the parchment paper. I had to throw all of them away and didn't bother with the remaining dough. The dough flavor was fantastic, but baking them off was a disaster for me. Sorry for the negative response, but it didn't work for me at all and I am an avid baker.
