Personal Notes:
I worked with a sweet Italian woman who loved to bake. Her Italian chocolate cookies were incredible. I have included many different versions of this recipe in our cookbook. It is hard to say which one is better. I think it is just a matter of taste, but I make these cookies quite often and everyone always asks me for the recipe!
