Count me in for deep, dark and intense chocolate. They look amazing!
Great cookies! When someone says “the best ever”, the rest of us have to pay attention!
Morning Kathleen. When it comes to cookies, I am not very discriminating!!! I am a cookie monster!! Yours look scrumptious!! Do you live near Big Bear? It is lovely up there!!! We go a lot!!
I like my chocolate dark and dense and paired with raspberry
These are dreamy delicious Kathleen! I can see how they could be habit-forming!

Have a great day

When I get a craving for something chocolate this is what I'll be looking for. They look similar to a cookies that my mom used to bake. Can't wait to try them.
Wow, these look like the perfect chocolate cookies to me also! I love Epicurious, it's my go to place for inspiration (after blogs, of course)
I'm going to add these to my holiday gift assortment, they look really spectacular.
These look rich and so delicious!
You had me at deep dark chocolate! These look delish!
I think this would be the chocolate experience that I would be seeking. Awesome.

Always looking for something to take to work for folks to try; this looks like a winner.
I'll have to make them and try them to call them the best, but they certainly do look like stiff competition!
Awesome!
If you say they are the best, I will definitely try them! Thanks!
Best of anything is so subjective isn't it? I just made what I think are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had…but I'm sure some would prefer no nuts, or darker chocolate. So I figure the ONLY person I can really mean that for is me and if someone else loves something I do? Yay!
I know there look and sound great and that's a very good thing.
these look awesome! I tried crinkle cookies never got really the right crinkle yours are perfect!
Oh wow. These looks spectacular.
These are outstanding! I had tried some other cookies from various websites promising “amazing” and “delicious” cookies, only to be disappointed with very pedestrian results. These melt in your mouth and are UBER chocolatey! Wonderful for the Christmas cookie tray.
Thanks for letting me know you made them and were happy with the results. I honestly think they’re killer!!
