My cookies turned out flat. They came out puffy and crinkled but once they cooled they came out flat. Any suggestions? BTW, I love you cookie book, Jake....I bought it and it is fantastic!

Such a great recipe! I made them with my (4 year old) daughter yesterday and they were so easy. I froze half the finished cookies to avoid us eating the whole batch in one go, but they are proving helpful right now for two poorly kids who don't want to eat much - they will of course eat these! Haha! So delicious, soft on the inside, slight chew to the outside - Perfect.

Beyond comprehension. The smoke and the salt, the texture, the ease with which it all comes together---it's been ages since any recipe has impressed me like this one. I probably should have used finer ground sumac, but instead I went with some really gorgeous magenta sumac we'd picked up in KSA for the pink color. This is absolutely a new staple in our household as long as we have neighbors around to eat them (we could have housed the entire batch ourselves, we were already in fierce combat over the leftover batter). Just incredible - thank you.

I really want to try making these cookies, but I had a question-- would replacing dark chocolate for milk chocolate be a good idea? If not, is the dark chocolate too pronounced/bitter? (the bitterness is what I don't like about dark chocolate). Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I didn't find them bitter at all, a really great rich chocolate flavour.

Jake, i made these cookies for Christmas day. I am mexican and everyone loved them super chocolate and sumac was perfect for dark chocolate cookies. I would make again

Really, really good cookies! Would make them again in a heartbeat. Super easy and really straightforward. Next time, I would weigh the amounts of dough to get more even-sized cookies as some were quite larger than others.

Hi! I just became acquainted with sumac this year. I really want to make this recipe but only have dark cocoa powder. Can I sub the powder for the chocolate? Thanks!

Jake...I'm the biggest imposter in all forms of cooking but I keep at it! These are delicious...I made them smaller for "cookie boxes". Question: have you ever frozen the dough or the cookies? Seems they may stay fresh for several days if stored properly. Thanks for the recipe!
