Would make this again.
I make a very similar cooky that I adapted from the Chocolate Meringue cookies my mom used to make. I do not put in nuts and sometimes substitute different flavorings for the vanilla - strawberry, cherry, lemon, wintergreen. I also use food coloring - red, green, yellow, blue, whatever.
I am diabetic and this is a very nice treat any time of the year. five stars

I used unsweetened chocolate squares that I chopped and was exteremely pleased with results. My husband even liked the cookies and he is a cake, cookie, and sweet treat fanatic. five stars

I really loved these, as did the rest of my family. We'll be making them again this Christmas for sure. five stars

Would make this again.
The cookies are quite good, however, in a forgotten cookie, it is a firm belief of mine that you need to have at least SOME regular sugar just for taste. Although the Splenda or other sugar substitutes are good for some products, in forgotten cookies it, to me, tastes like a sugar substitue cookie, and not a sweet treat for the holidays. four stars
