This recipe did not work at all. Just hard as a rock and crumlbles. Will not make them again. Not enough liquid to hold the batter together.

The dough was too crumbly to be made into cookies. I made a bar out of it but the taste was not so great. Wont make these again.

I agree with other reviews, did not flatten even after I partially flattened them and definitely not fudgy. Tasted one while warm and it was soft. After cooling...horrible hard blobs, and I baked less time than stated. I was a baker before retiring and this is the WORST recipe ever.

These sound simply delish, but I find it hard to, because of them being diabetic. I am sorry to sound so down, but most diabetic food does not taste as good as normal food. Most of the time I usually go without treats because they taste so bad. I will try this and will come back here and let you know if they are worth repeating.

Sorry, but these did not work for me at all. I tried to feed them to the birds and they turned their beaks up at them. The dough wasn't just stiff, it would not come together at all. I was very disappointed. They did not remind me at all of a wonderful fudgy cookie/brownie combination or brookie as they were first called. I'm glad they worked in your test kitchen. Too bad they didn't work in mine. Keep up the good work with the other recipes which I enjoy.

Well, these did not turn out. The dough seemed like it needed an egg or something to pull it all together.

We brought this recipe back to the Test Kitchen, and the recipe worked for us. The dough will be stiff, as indicated in the recipe, which is perhaps what surprised you. These bake up to be dense, fudgy cookies. We hope you try the recipe again!
