Not the prettiest things you've ever seen right?
Maybe I did something wrong but I was really disappointed with these cookies. From all of the hype and praise I'd seen, I expected something out of this world. Instead, I got a super crumbly mixture that I had to add a few tablespoons of liquid just so it would hold together.
Because the dough was so crumbly, I didn't bother rolling and shaping into a log. I put the bowl into the fridge so the dough could firm up then I shaped the dough into round balls. I baked them for the recommended time even though I shaped them differently.
The taste was okay but it wasn't anything special. They tasted like any other chocolate chocolate chip cookie I've had. Would I make these again? Probably not since I'm not a huge chocolate fan. I'm not sure they would bring peace to the world. Well, maybe to the chocoholics of the world!
They kind of look like cow patties...ewww.
Next week will be Floating Islands picked by Shari of Whisk: a food blog. Sounds interesting! Can't wait to try it!
Sorry for the horrible pictures. After the troubles getting them made, I wasn't too keen on trying for great pictures.

Oh thank goodness! Someone else that didn't like them. I thought I was the only one!
I came thisclose to calling mine cow patties too!
I'm sorry that these didn't work out for you. I've always had such good luck with them. I don't know what went wrong.
I'm sorry these didn't work out better for you. Hopefully next week will be better. =)
I am so sorry that you didn't like them! Hopefully the floating islands will be all that you want and more!
I didn't like the grittiness to them. Maybe it was because I used a kosher salt. Not good in my book.
I'm so sorry that you didn't have good luck with these.:( Hopefully things will go better next week.:)
What, not like chocolate? My system is in shock... However, I am a HUGE chocoholic and I was not impressed with these cookies. I think they were good, but I expected more from the hype too. Get 'em next time!
Sorry they didn't work out. I am not a huge fan of chocolate, chocolate cookies. I liked these however. Maybe try them again some day.
Expectations were high for this cookie! Too bad you didn't like them.
That's really too bad, I wonder what could have gone wrong? Hope next week is better for you. :)
Too bad you didn't like the cookies, but not everyone has to like everything. Hopefully the next one works for you.
Sorry these weren't your favorite...but I bet next week will be great.
Sorry you had crumbly dough. It sounds like some other people had similar issues. I weighed my flour using 6.25 ounces and the dough was a nice consistency.
They must have been bad, your pup wasn't in the picture. 8-( Sorry they didn't work out for you.
Sorry these weren't thrilling for you! I think they are wonderful for chocolate lovers.
I really think you have to be a chocoholic to truly appreciate these! I made them too and while I could see how people would LOVE them, especially with the salt, they didn't really turn my world upside down. Madelines and biscotti are my cookies of choice!
