Contest-Winning Chocolate Truffle Cookies image

Here's a snack for serious chocolate lovers. These enticing cookies are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, somewhat bittersweet and very chocolaty. I usually make them to share at get-togethers. Otherwise, I'd eat them all myself! I'm always asked for the recipe. -Delaine Fortenberry, McComb, Mississippi

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
