I had to make these after seeing the practically pornographic pictures of the end result, and I am happy to report that the batch I made look exactly like the pictures, and they also tasted awesome. I'm so happy! I will definitely make these again. Thank you for this recipe. I did notice that my second and third pans of cookies were decreasingly crackled on top; the cookies on the third pan had practically no crackles, while the first pan was a crackle party. Could this be because I kept my scoop in a cup of hot water between scoops? I didn't do that to the scoop for the first pan, but I did for the second and third. I guess I answered my own question, but do you know why the hot water would do that?
