LK - I'm a "Balmoron" and my mother used to be the buyer for Silber's, a long gone chain of local bakery stores. Along with their regionally famous Fresh Peach Cake, Louisiana Crunch Cake, Jewish Rye Bread, and many other delectable specialties, they made a Chocolate Top cookie, just as you described. I worked in their offices on weekends during high school and college - what a great job!! The bakers would bring down trays of "imperfect" donuts, pies, etc. It was always a happy day when batches of Chocolate Top cookies would arrive, not pretty enough to sell, with "tops" slightly askew - but tasting as rich and decadent as their perfect counterparts. Yum!! Thanks for stirring THAT memory!!
