Chocolate Thumbprints II

I made this and it was delicious however it was hard to make sure the thumbprint whole stayed while baking and some of the chocolate melted so it didn't look great but wow it was yummy!!!??

I made mine bigger than necessary. They spread out quite a bit when they cooked. Skipped the egg. Sounded like too much work for no reason I could figure. Someone says these aren't chocolaty enough, but I found them to be very chocolaty. Rolled them in red and green sugar and they turned out pretty for Christmas.

Instead of using a Hershey's kiss, I chose to make a simple cream cheese frosting and top with either a strawberry, rasberry, or blueberry. I mixed it up a bit for the 4th of July. It's a twist to the recipe, but it was very good!

twas quite yummililicious! (don't use the egg white batter on the outside) but they were VERY yummy!!!!

Whether or not to use the egg bath called for in this recipe isn't the biggest issue because the cookie isn't worth making either way. I rolled the dough balls in sugar and the cookies did turn out pretty. I had no issues with them being flat or with cracking. The problem is, they just don't taste that great and the texture is rather disagreeable as well. I expect a chocolate cookie to be chocolatey! These suffered in chocolate intensity. The crumb, while moist, is not of the chewy consistency you'd expect. While hubby and I don't always agree, we did on these cookies, right down to giving them only 2 stars. The bottom line is, the most flavor came from the chocolate kiss! Without it, these would have been pretty much tasteless baked dough balls.
