So I was surfing blogs in my Newsgator account (you, of course, have a Newsgator
account, right?) and came across a recipe that caught my eye.
What I liked first of all was it was a chocolate cookie that used melted chocolate instead of cocoa. I've always found that to be a much richer tasting cookie.
Secondly, the blogger mentioned that she found this recipe on a piece of paper taped in the back of an old cookbook she had bought at a yard sale.
Third, you GOTTA love the name of the cookie.
Then I was hooked and HAD to try the recipe.
It immediately flashed me back to being like 10 years old and cooking out of Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook and I remember it seemed most pages had stains or bits of food from all the times it had been used.
Anyway, full credit goes to Baking Blonde who graciously gave me permission to blog her recipe. I made a couple of minor changes, but it is mostly intact. Enjoy!source unknown

You cookies look so good! I love the shiny tops, as you know many people are attracted to shiny objects, ha ha.
Hope you enjoy. I am glad I found your blog, I have added you to my google/reader.
Gorgeous photos on this one---as if the name isn't enough to suck you in, those beautiful craggy tops will do it for sure!
