These fudgy, rich, and oh so yummy cookies have a powdered sugar coating that cracks upon baking. That's why they're named earthquakes! Prep time includes refrigerating time. They freeze very well. Enjoy! :o)

These cookies were a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out burnt and crumbly.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The cookies were bland and didn't have much flavor.

These cookies didn't turn out very well for me. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate flavor was nice and strong.
