these sound very similar to Hunka Chocolate cookies.

This recipe is rich, rich, rich...which is what I love about it. I am a very healthy eater but one cookie will do it. Also, the "batter", which is more like a big piece of solid chocolate, lasts and lasts so you can bake fresh cookies over a period of a week or so. For those who like dark chocolate (like me) it's the best cookie I've ever had!

Awesome cookies!! Lots of chocolate through and through without being overly sweet, and pretty to boot with the powdered sugar on top. We really enjoyed these! A little does go a long way, so they will last longer that way The only thing I would do differently next time would be to sift the cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt together to eliminate any lumps before adding the mixture. It was difficult to mix together and then mix in without sifting. These were incredible cookies and we thank you for sharing this recipe! Dianne

Very good cookies! These were easy to make but not quick. I agree with the suggestion to sift the dry ingredients before adding them. I used insulated cookies sheets with and without parchment paper. The ones without parchment paper took 12 minutes and puffed up perfectly but the ones on parchment were flatter. They all tasted great.
