These cookies are fabulous! Sinful is right! I had misgivings due to the reviews saying they were too cakey, or not sweet enough, or too dry. I almost passed them by and I am SO glad I didn't! They're the best cookies I've ever eaten. The texture is perfect - just cakey enough to add body and richness but still 100% gooey moist cookie, not cake or brownie. Not dry at all! I added 1/4 cup brown sugar to my first batch and it was too sweet - the recipe is perfect as it stands. My only change is to add 1/2 semi-sweet chips and 1/2 white chips for flavor and contrast. These will be a Christmas tradition in our home! - 13 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These are the best cookies I have ever made! I noticed that if I left them cook for 8 minutes they were more cakelike, but if I left them bake for a minute or 2 longer they were more cookie-like. I also removed them right away from the pan. And to avoid crumbling, I used a small flat edged metal turner and quickly scooped them up. The batter didn't look right, (kind of runny looky) however, they turned out AWESOME! - 28 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This is a funny story. Because I read the recipe wrong, I used cream cheese rather than sour cream. And you know what? They were delicious! Soft and chewy. Try it with cream cheese, also! - 08 Dec 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
