NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE HAYSTACK COOKIES -- LOWER SUGAR
I modified this from recipe#106005, because I wanted a lower-sugar cookie. My target was to try to get one cookie = 15g carbs, which is one dietary carb for those who are counting. Cooking (passive) time = cooling time. Chef#163441 deserves the credit for posting an awesome, yummy and easy cookie recipe!

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of these cookies, so make sure you use a high-quality semisweet or dark chocolate.
- Don't overcook the chocolate: The chocolate should be melted but not scorched. Overcooked chocolate will be bitter and grainy.
- Use a large bowl: You'll need a large bowl to mix the ingredients together. A regular mixing bowl may not be big enough.
- Chill the cookies before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to a week.
