Amazing!! These are just warm from the oven. They arent going to make tomorrow I already know that. I made a couple of changed/alterations. I subbed shortening for margarine because it was what I had on the counter. I also didnt have any nuts on hand but my kids won't eat them. I didnt leave them in the fridge overnight...maybe 3 hours. I used white sugar instead of brown because I like white chocolate chips cookies, not brown. Anyways they are excellent cookies, great flavor, easy to make and most people always have all the ingredients on hand. Thanks SueVM this is going in the front page of my recipe binder.

I only work part time these days due to arthritus in my hands.
I love to cook and try new foods.
I like Middle Eastern cooking as I travelled to Turkey and Cyprus and got hooked on the foods there.
I collect cookbooks and probably have over 100 in my library so far, British, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Jewish and Asian.
