Aunt Sally's Cocoa Drops image

My mother used to make these cookies, they are my all time favorite. She usually frosted them with a white icing. I made them for my children but they usually didn't last long enough to get frosted. Now I make them for my 14 month old granddaughter. They are so soft and so good! I usually double the recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cocoa drops didn't turn out as expected. They were too flat and didn't have much flavor.

These were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more chocolate chips next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cocoa drops turned out too gooey. I think I might have overcooked them.

These were a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just because I used dark chocolate chips.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cocoa drops didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just used too much sugar.
