Would not make this again.
These were the worst cookies that I have ever made! They looked awful and tasted not so great either. I have never thrown out a batch of cookies before, but I couldn't get these in the compost bin fast enough.

I'm not sure I'd make these again. They weren't very chocolatey and I found the dough to be very sticky! My kids did enjoy rolling them around in the powdered sugar!

These cookies were great and it made way more than it says. I did some rolled in icing sugar, but they were better and prettier when I rolled them in crushed almonds. A definite make again recipe!
