I forgot to mention in my review below that I also substituted sucanat (dried sugar cane juice) for the sugar. It gave them a slight molasses flavor which really complimented the sesame - and made them a lot healthier! I thought that was why they were flat, but apparently not!

My batter was runny and had to chill at least 3 hours too before I could handle it! Mine also came out flat instead of puffy and crinkled like the pic. But they were so good, I'll be happy to tinker with the recipe and make them again.

12/25/2011 12:00:04 PM Report Abusenot all that impressed. I like sesame with alot of things, but apparently not with chocolate. I agree with others, the recipe is not right, its a pain to make into balls and cover with sesame seeds, I ended up putting mine in the freezer for a bit to stiffen it up. I probably wont be making these again....totally bummed
12/14/2011 03:04:22 PM Report AbuseThese taste amazing. I added more flour, too, because it was so runny. I chilled mine overnight, but won't do that again because it caused the dough to be very stiff and I had to wait to scoop it. They puffed up and were so chewy and delicious.
