I've made these & I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just make sure the dough is well chilled & coat them pretty heavily with sugar.

Ginger,
Just what I was looking for. Will make them next week. Thank you.

Thanks, Ginger! These sound good to me too. I've captured these plus your crab cake recipe (which sounds the simplest and best to me). Thanks! Linda

Hope you like them. Read the reviews, too. Good tips there.

Mmmm..... I like the "dark cocoa" and the "[chocolate chips & peppermint extract]" ideas. Captured them too. Mmmm.....

No sugar topping on these but they are soft, fudgy & moist.
