Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note from the Kraft Kitchens

Thank you. We heard your feedback and retested the recipe with both butter and margarine. Based upon our results, we updated the recipe to increase the chill time to firm up the dough. Though butter is the preferred ingredient, we added a tip for those who choose to use margarine instead. Just add an additional 1/2 cup flour.

Tip

For best results, use butter. If using margarine, add an additional 1/2 cup flour.

Chocolate Glazed

Microwave 1 tub (8 oz.) thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping and 6 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate on HIGH 1 min.; stir. Microwave an additional 30 sec. or until chocolate is melted and mixture is shiny and smooth. Let stand 15 min. to thicken. Spread or drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand 40 min. or until glaze is set.

Horrible. Taste like nothing more then the two cups of sugar in the recipe. I read the reviews about them being flat but really wanted them to work... they did not and now I just wasted lots of time! Very sad!

I heard such great things about these but I just couldn't get the bake time right so they really didn't come out. Won't make again.

We made these for Christmas last year - delicious! We added crushed peppermint to the top. This year we're going to try caramel halves.

I make these cookies every Christmas they are a big hit. I always use butter for this receipe and last year I made a thumb print and added a marischino cherry then the chocolate sauce and baked. They came out like candy. One other tip refrigerate the dough before working with it. some work the the end result is well worth it.

I didn't like this recipe at all. I finally gave up trying to make the cookies and put them in a pan and made brownies . The batter stuck to my hands and they were completely flat when I took them out of the oven. The only thing I did different was use unsalted butter and I am not sure if that would make a difference or not.

Bland in taste. Will use semi-sweet chocolate squares next time. Looked nothing like the picture. Flattened out during baking and then folded in on themselves when removed from cookie shoot (after 1 min. cooling). Generally displeased. Might try again with parchment paper. To my pleasant surprise my 5 year old son loves them. At least they're not wasted. LOL

Very easy and tasty cookie recipe. I've made these several times, lately wrapping a chocolate candy inside the ball of dough prior to baking!
