He made it out to be like a chocolate chip cookie with a coffee flavor. I wasn’t too impressed by that, so I was in no hurry to try them. When I got the recipe, I saw the dough was more of a chocolate based dough, and that made it a little better. I was still preoccupied with my ice cream maker, though.
These are really easy to make and very, very chocolatey!! I love that in a cookie. I whipped these up while we heated up some leftovers for dinner. Once they’ve cooled, they’re hard on the outside, soft on the inside..just like a truffle!
I’m definitely glad I finally made these..and we’ll have to do it again soon!
