Believe it or not I'm not much of a chocolate fan, but I know someone that would just LOVE these. She's a chocoholic ;P
you know what, i tried making these before when i was 12 years old. I remember seeing them in a recipe book and they were called chocolate pixies or something. Needless to say, it was a disaster in my mom's kitchen lol. But it looks pretty good in your pics though :)
mike: not a chocolate fan? noooo... ah well, at least you're a fan of cheescake. We can still be friends =)
expedited writer: well judging from what's coming from your kitchen now, these cookies are beneath your current expertise. hehe ;)
