August 2020 . Looking back now I feel the same pain of the “missing limb sydrom” . I never made those cookies again but I come back to this post whenever I need to feel that same bittersweet feeling that , truth be told , never left me ever since . Well , that feeling is here again tonight and here I am . Let’s roll

These are perfect! I make them for Christmas parties every year and everyone raves about them and wants to know who made them. Like, people I’ve never met will search the party trying to find the girl who made the chocolate cookies. They’re very much worth the work. Thanks for posting!

Sadly, City Bakery has closed so at least now I have this recipe to turn to! THANK YOU!

I ran home and started googling similar recipes and found yours which I made today…. although it’s June in NYC, it kinda looks like a baking day, grey and cloudy. The cookies taste great but they don’t have that CB shiny, crackly top. Think it’s just that it’s a different recipe or what else could I have done wrong?

I know it sounds crazy, but I kinda like my chocolate cookies (especially ones that are brownie-like) sans chips. Do you think they will be chocolatey enough? Should I add even more melted chocolate and little cocoa powder?

That’s weird, Jami! I’m sorry about that. I do think they were possibly overbaked…?

I don’t think they were overbaked, but they were definitely not the soft, fudgy consistency I expected. Any thoughts? They still have a very rich, chocolate taste, though, so not a loss!

We make them every Christmas, and for every single family gathering. Thank you – years later – for such a lovely tradition!

These are nothing but chocolate. These are delicious. I have to say, thank you, and I just hope I can save some of these until Christmas.

It’s more purely chocolatey than a bar or baked good. Something closer to brownie batter or really sludgy hot cocoa. I just made these cookies (for my boyfriend–one-year anniversary gift), and they taste like the Loop smells. AMAZING. Quite possibly the best chocolate baked good I have ever tasted. I’m new to your blog as of last week, by the way. I love it, and I’m going to subscribe to Gourmet.-melissa
