Yummy soft chocolate cookies; with a hint of cloves and cinnamon they're absolutely wonderful. You can make sour milk by combining 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar and allow to set 10 minutes.

I made these exactly as the recipe said and the batter was very thin. I added another cup of flour and refrigerated for about four hours. They turned out very nice and have a good flavor. I did get more than three dozen. I will be making these again. Read More

The cookies were soft but lacked any real flavor. I will not make these again or recommend them to anyone. Read More

As the previous poster noted mine also turned very black and burnt around the edges on the first batch even though I checked them after only 13 minutes. I turned the oven to 350 and did about 9 or 10 minutes and they came out fine. The flavor was just o.k. not as full of any "spice" as I would have expected. I also found the texture a bit too "cakey" for my liking as a cookie. Although they were o.k. I probably will not make them again. Read More
