Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating delicious and different Posted December 16, 2010 by Christine Rating These cookies are very chocolatey. Be sure to roll them 1/4 inch as stated, otherwise they break. I also found it easier to use melted white chocolate bark instead of melted chocolate chips. Posted December 12, 2010 by Gayle Rating I had an older recipe that called for 1 3/4 cup flour and 1/3 cup cocoa and everyone liked them.
