 ===== 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.
+  * 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 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.
+  * 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.
