   * Place the dough in the fridge and refrigerate for 1 hr. until dough is firm.
   * Preheat oven to 350º F
   * Spoon dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Return dough to fridge in between batches (it melts quickly in the heat!)
   * Bake cookies for 10 min., rotating front-to-back and top-to-bottom halfway through the cooking time. Cookies will look underdone when removed from oven - DO NOT BE FOOLED. Cool on cookie sheets for 5 min. and then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
+===== Notes =====
+  * Normally I just use 8 oz. of baking chocolate in this recipe, but I was low on baking chocolate when I went to make them so I substituted in some baking cocoa for the missing 2 oz. of baking chocolate. I don't notice any difference.
+  * I make this with Earth Balance so that people with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance can eat them, but if you are not worried about that you can use butter instead.
+  * Note to myself re:baking: Use small cookie scoop; 8 cookies per tray. No need to flatten cookie balls.
