Found this recipe on cakecentral.com for Dark Chocolate Rolled Cookies.... It is definitely as good as the reviews made it out to be! They're a little bit crisp on the outside, but have a soft, chewy middle.... kind of like a brownie! The combination of Dark Chocolate cocoa powder and espresso makes for a deep chocolate taste, unlike any other chocolate cookie I've tried yet!
Had to use the Hello Kitty cookie cutter for these because I just finally got it! Found it on Ebay last month.... International shipping is SO expensive, and takes SO long! But it was worth the wait! The icing that I used on these is one I've posted before.... Kind of like buttercream, but for cookies. Since it's thick, and doesn't flow very well, I had to inprint the face onto the white icing before I added the face & bow. When I make these again, with Royal Icing, they'll look much smoother.... But Royal Icing, though beautiful to look at and work with, would not have done these yummy chocolate cookies any justice!
