Clarinetist and friend to many, Michael Sullivan was an avid cook, loved to entertain. This cookie recipe tastes especially good to me because I know that he would have tried many different recipes until settling on the one that pleased his guests the most. He wasn't known for healthy cooking, but entertainment cooking...I remember him saying "you don't want to know what's in it" when people would ask about his desserts. No surprise, then, that this recipe contains additional grated chocolate in the batter. Sadly, Michael died in 2007 from a rare cancer, at the young age of 43. He gave me this recipe in 1993 or 1994 when we were in school at Florida State, and handed it to me on a small photocopied sheet of paper; apparently enough other people had asked for the recipe that he had made several copies. I would consider scanning this copy and making it available for those who might like a version in Mike's own handwriting.
