I just made these for my family and, oh my gosh, they were SO good! some of the best cookies I’ve ever made! I thought they’d turn out flat so I froze them for about an hour and I think that helped a lot to give them the cakey yet crackly texture. I suggest this to people having issues. Thank you!!

I was disappointed – my cookies were flat and didn’t taste very good. I read several comments but didn’t read far enough. If you read the comments why haven’t you corrected the recipe or put in a note about the amount of flour. I am not sure I want to put more time and effort into this recipe.

Kenna, the original recipe I used had a different amount of flour, but Martha’s site now has 2/3 cups. I’ve updated the recipe on BoB, too. Don’t give up on these cookies, though. They are so worth the trouble! Thanks!

I made these yesterday and they turned out flat as pancakes and did not turn out at all. I then looked up the recipe on martha stewarts page and found that the recipe on this site is wrong! it says 1/4 cup flour when martha uses 2/3 cups flour. I think that probably made the difference?

I made these 3 times now and if you want these to turn out you need to add additional flour or chances are they will be flat, trust me on this. Add like an additional 1/2 cup and let the batch stand for like 7-10 minutes. They are the best!

I Actually made these cookies and t first they came out super thin… the recipe only calls for 1/4 cup of flour which i believe is a mistake i added an additional cup of flour and the cookies turned outjust like the picture!!!!!

so add 1 and 1/4 cups of flour!

These cookies looked so amazing I just had to try them… & they tasted just as amazing as they look! Quite possibly the best cookie I’ve ever had. I’m making them again today. Thanks!

Heeeeey. My question may be a bit off-topic, but the fact that I haven’t been able to answer it myself has been driving me crazy.

Whenever I bake a batch of cookies that contains a substantial amount of cocoa powder, the dough seems to thin while the cookies are in the oven. Is it the cocoa, or should I be refrigerating the dough for at least an hour before I portion it into cookies? I would appreciate any advice that someone might have.

For those of you who’ve had trouble with the recipe link to Martha’s website, I’ve added the recipe to BoB and changed the link at the top of the post. Happy baking!
