Chocolate Fix

Need a chocolate fix? These cookies are for you! Nice crackled outside, gooey inside, and rolled in powdered sugar for good measure. I was told that they were "brownie cookies" and "fudge cookies". The only issue I had was the chilling time: three hours?! Please. I cut it in half because it was late and Miss Sandy was here. Priorities.
