I just tried them too, and they did not turn out quite right... same problem others have had. no crackle, very flat, yet very rich and chocolaty. I did use a dark 60% coca bittersweet chip, real butter, mixed it in while hot, and KA flour measured the right way. The batter was very sticky after refrigeration. I baked them several minutes more than the recipe called for waiting for that crackle, but it never came :( They look and feel more like "brownie puddles" but I will try again some day! Perfection can be an elusive thing with these cookies, Evy. Sometimes they're just right. Sometimes just a few cracks. Sometimes no cracks. But they always taste good.... my guess is something to do with the sugar and melted butter, and nust how melted the sugar gets, as that's what gives brownies their shiny, crackly top. I'll have to do some more experimenting one of these days. PJH
