I have to tell you, these are a new favorite. The only semi-sweet chocolate I had around was a bag of Nestle morsels. Just did the basic cookies with no 'add-ins' (guess I'm a purist, at least the first time around). Got beautiful cracks, texture, and flavor. Yes, they flatten over time, but do not lose the nice chewy/moist centers.
Since they're basically a brownie and I'm used to unsweetened chocolate in brownies, how about a mixture of unsweetened and semi-sweet next time? (It's probably been put forth in the last few days...sorry) Considering my less than 'high-brow' chocolate choice, these turned out GREAT! :-)
