I thought these were good. I cooked them 10 minutes as the recipe said, and they were crisp. They didn't seem burned, but they were darker than I expected. Is that how they should be?

These cookies were thin and crispy and flavorful. I was leary about trying them, as I ate one of the nibs by itself and it was so bitter! But in the cookies they are sweet and wonderful! I can't wait to make more of them!!
