In reply to Sonya. Hi Sonya! I have a tutorial on how to measure ingredients here. There was an error in the recipe card which has been fixed/updated so you may be seeing some of the older comments. I have recently retested the recipe and had great results. The dough for these cookies is going to be very moist. Be sure to measure flour correctly, and it helps to roll the moist dough with wet hands. I recommend watching the tutorial to see if that helps. Also- be sure to use large eggs and not “extra large” since that can make a difference as well.

I am an experienced baker and I followed the recipe perfectly. Like some others, I found the dough very sticky, almost like a batter. They spread out flat, all running into each other. And even though I kept adding time – up to 14 mins – they were still gooey and very difficult to transfer, even after resting on the cookie sheet and yes, I did chill it overnight. I use the pour over method for measuring flour, so maybe if it’s more tightly packed, that would be the only difference.

In reply to Richard. My husband is in a care home and the PSW’s made these with the residents and froze them until their tree decorating party. They froze beautifully.

In reply to Diana. Hi Diana! I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. I just recently tested this recipe and made some adjustments so I know the ingredients ratios as written in the recipe card are a accurate. Did you measure everything correctly? It seems as though something is off. Also- be sure to chill the dough long enough.

I followed the recipe exactly. They turned out o.k. Because of the oil, they were not dry, which is what I was looking for. They were hard to work with, though. Very sticky dough, even when working with wet hands. When rolling them in powdered sugar, I covered my hands with flour. That helped to keep them from sticking to me and not getting the powdered sugar all wet. The cookies spread out quite a bit and don’t hold that nice dome shape these cookies are known for. I will keep looking for a better recipe.

In reply to Jennifer. Adding pepperming I think is a great idea! Thank you so much for your review and for sharing that with us.

Absolutely amazing… I split the cocoa powder evenly to be half regular cocoa and half dutch process cocoa (for that “black” look), and added a half a cup of Andes Peppermint Chips, topping with a Hershey’s Candy Cane kiss, and they were, hands down, THE most amazing cookie I’ve ever made (and I’ve made quite a few). Thanks so much for what will become a new holiday staple!!! <3 LOVE LOVE LOVE!

These came out perfectly cracked on the outside and chocolatey soft and fudgey inside.

In reply to Kristy Lin. Hi Kristy! To be honest, I have not tested butter to know how it would affect the recipe.
