VERDICT
These are more like "mini-cakes" than a "cookie", but they are delicious. I read on the website that adding one cup of chocolate chips was a delicious option, but I resisted the temptation and opted to try them chip-free the first time around. The cocoa flavor is chocolatey enough. I think the cookies are good just the way the recipe has it.
