I was rooting through the “archives” the other day, and
stumbled upon the August 2009 issue of Taste of Home magazine and this
recipe. Because I consider myself something of a cookie aficionado, I had to
give these a try. As with most cookie recipes (I am seldom disappointed
in a cookie no matter how simple and unassuming) I was glad that I did. They are quick, easy, and
garnered two thumbs up from our end. These do tend to be a bit on the sweet
side, so be warned. But if you hanker for a cookie that is densely
chocolate, wonderfully chewy, and decadently sweet, this recipe is definitely
for you. It turned out that they were the perfect accompaniment to an
evening cup of coffee, and repeat episode of “The Closer.” Brenda Leigh would have loved them.
