 ===== Notes =====
-  * This year was the first year I made these cookies dairy-free. That worked fine. I normally wouldn't, since they can't be vegan because the eggs are so structurally important to this recipe, but we had someone this year who was gluten-free and dairy-free but fine with eggs, so making these dairy-free meant there was another type of cookie they could eat.
+  * Normally I just use 8 oz. of baking chocolate in this recipe, but the baking chocolate I was using (Guittard) comes in 6 oz. packages and I didn't want leftovers so I substituted in 6 T. baking cocoa for the missing 2 oz. of baking chocolate. I don't notice any difference.
+  * I make this with vegan margarine 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.
