Have made multiple times; my kids call these Chocolate Bombs as they explode with chocolate flavor. One modification, we use semi-sweet choc. chips and do not roll them in sugar. Awesome recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!

The Best Chocolate Cookie Recipe ever... my whole family liked them very much, but especially notable was a comment from my little brother who is not very fond of chocolate desserts saying that they were keepers. I loved these, too. Cannot be improved apon!
