I have always loved to bake cookies. As a young girl I always said when I got married and had children I was going to bake many Cookies for them. I have and am now baking for my grandchildren and a great- grandson. I am 84 years old and still trying new cookie recipes. Clarene

I made these last night. I was unable to find Dutch Process Cocoa anywhere in my town (even the really nice high end food store), so I had to use regular unsweetened hershey's cocoa. However, joyofbaking.com says of Dutch Process cocoa: "Because it is neutral and does not react with baking soda, it must be used in recipes calling for baking powder..." Wouldn't this indicate that there is a mistake in the recipe, since it calls for baking soda only? Perhaps that is why other reviewers have had problems with their cookies being too thin? I also didn't chill the dough because mine ended up being much too soft and mushy to roll into a log (it was more like a very thick batter than a dough). I just went ahead and scooped out heaping tablespoons. I added dark chocolate chips to them as well. I had to bake about 11-12 minutes rather than 10. The batch I did for 10 minutes were very undercooked (which actually made them quite yummy). Despite the modifications I had to make, the cookies turned out delicious! They are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside! Next time I make them, I might add peanut butter chips.

Will try the cookies - and to those looking for the cream, you obviously do not watch the shows as often as you should. There is no cream in the recipe - you should mix the sugar and butter together so that it resembles cream. I just love the Paula shows.

To stop the running,I roll dough into balls after cutting into 21/2" slices

Love this recipe try cutting the dough thicker. the is more softer and chewy.

By joyce bartlett on January 27, 2011

I made one log and stuck the other in the freezer. I'll post again after I see how the frozen log bakes. The cookies I did bake are PERFECT! This is such an easy recipe. Very chocolatey too which I LOVE! If your cookies were too thin the only thing I can think is that maybe you sliced them to thin.?. I had exactly 2 1/2 dozen cookies when I was done just like the recipe suggests. If you had much more than that perhaps the cookies were sliced a bit thin. Just a thought. Try them again. It's worth it!

I just finished baking these, and they thinned out so much that they got very crispy and spread all over the pan. What am I doing wrong? I gave them a 3 simply because the dough was so yummy!

My son and I are about to begin making this recipe along with 4 other PD cookie recipes. We are giving them as gifts this year. Since we are going to have a truck load of cookies coming out of our oven this week I was wondering..... "Can the second log in the recipe be FROZEN to be used at a later time"??? I know most cookie dough can be and just want to make sure here before I stick it in the freezer. THANKS!

I made the Top Secret Chocolate Cookies this afternoon and They thinned out so bad that I couldn't get them off of the cookie sheet. I was so disappointed! I was making them as part of my Christmas cookies. :(

By Susanne Tyler on December 12, 2010

Very good cookies. I was searching for a recipe close to a cookie we get in St.Louis. I used 1 cup of chopped chocolate chips and they turned out great. Just wish I could get them a little more crispy. Will be making these again and again.

A chocolate lover's dream. I used Special Dark instead of regular cocoa! Yummyyy!
