I made this delectable dessert as a bar rather than as a cookie, but I wasn't sure how much time I should of baked this in the oven. Well, I seemed to of over baked the bars, the bottom and sides the the bars were a bit hard, so the next time I decide to make these again, I won't bake them as long, and I will edit my review and rate this recipe with stars. One thing I did as another reviewer had done, was to top the bars w/chocolate chips after I took them out of the oven, then I placed them back in the oven for 1 minute, so the chips would melt and make an icing ontop. I also topped the pan with 20 pecan halves, and later cut them bars into 20 bars. This recipe certainly does have an intense chocolate flavor, which makes the cookies/bars quite rich, but I look forward to making them again in the near future.

    YOWZA, truly for those who need a chocolate fix! Very good. I used the double boiler method to melt the chocolate chips and topped w/ pecan halves because I want the kids to eat all these so I don't make pig out of myself! Once the dough cools, using a cookie scoop is easy. They don't spread that much so they can be plopped close together for baking. *do not be tempted to add to the baking time. They will firm up. Also, avoid using a dark baking sheet & the lower oven rack. I used parchment paper and one batch was over done. Made in memory of MEP. RIP. Thanks to your mom, wherever she may be, for this fab recipe!

    These are a chocoholics dream, very rich, dense and chocolate! Really easy to make too! I used the microwave to melt the chocolate chips and butter and then just mixed everything in the same bowl. I made these nut-free and baked them in a 9x13 pan instead of as cookies (sorry, I got lazy at the last minute). I had to bake them 4-5 minutes longer because I did this. When they were done I put some extra chocolate chips on top and put them back in for a minute to melt and then spread it like an icing. Very good and easy recipe, Mep, thanks for sharing it.

    I've made these twice now, and each time my friends and family gobble them down. They're rich and easy to make and I personally love them. I had to let the batter/dough sit for a few minutes, and when I came back, I was able to roll it into balls - way less messy. I bake them just until the tops look dry - then they're perfect. Thanks for a great recipe!
