I too would like a slightly less flat cookie and would normally have just added a bit more flour, but I'm grateful for the other commenters' additional ideas. Also, there is something mysteriously special about using whole wheat flour in the standard chocolate chip cookies, that increases the complexity of the flavor--when I can remember to do it. I can't think of many cookie recipes of which this is true, and I'm not sure I'd want to mess up your already-complex recipe that way, but I thought I'd pass the experience along.

These cookies look fantastic! I will definitely have to give them a try and see what they're like compared with my current favorite cookie, Martha Stewart's chewy cherry chunk cookies, which I first baked a few years ago to include in Christmas cookie packages and now are the #1 request from friends & family. They include milk & white chocolate chips plus pecans along with the cherries, but I often leave the nuts out and vary the chocolate depending upon what I have on hand or what I think the recipient will like; and since discovering light muscovado sugar I can't bring myself to go back to the plain brown stuff (I also use chips instead of chopping bars of chocolate because I'm just too lazy). One thing I love from that recipe that I might attempt with this one as well is pouring boiling water over the cherries & letting them soak them for 5 minutes to plump them up.

I wrap them in parchment paper and foil or plastic and when I take them out of the freezer the meat doesn't stick to it. I used to use wax paper instead, but it would stick. So just another way to use that parchment paper. A love using parchment paper for freezing meats.

I could only find an eight ounce bar of Belgian unsweetened chocolate as everything else in their store was 5 ounce candy bars. I think that the cookies came out so flat because of so much chocolate, esp. that so much of it flaked. Also, the unsweetened chocolate didn't make for a good tasting cookie. Did I use the wrong kind of chocolate? I would like to try these cookies again. My butter was at room temperature, but I would probably refrigerate the dough before baking when I make them again. I am sure they will be great cookies if I can get them to turn out right.
