GREAT TASTING COOKIES! I made half the batch without nuts & the other half with some toasted almonds, & both versions were OUTSTANDING! Will admit that these were made for a friend who was giving a party & needed some cookie-making help, but I managed to salvage enough to do a proper taste test, & you've definitely got a winning recipe, & a keeper, too! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef] -
You're right Silent Rain they are awesome cookies! Made as posted and wouldnt change a thing. I didn't add the optional nuts making for a wonderful tasting Chocolate Chip Cookie that my family is partial to. Next time around I am going to try your Oatmeal Chocolate Chip option and I am sure they will be a hit here as well. Thank you for posting this super chocolate chip cookie.

Hi everyone! :)
<br>
<br>My name is Angel and I live in N.E. Ohio. I love to cook and have been doing so for about 38 yrs. I am slightly older then that...(boohoo) ...but loving life and I am a devoted christian.
<br>I live in a 3 bedroom, two story colonial with my 5 pound toy pomeranian. He's the love of my life outside of God and family. He's got the sweetest disposition you would ever want in a pet and He's 9
<br>1/2 years old. I recieved him from a bus driver at the school I use to work at and he is one of the greatest blessings I have recieved.
<br>I have two grown children and 3 grandchildren who live in Michigan where I was originally born and raised. I moved to Ohio 6 years ago. I love and miss my family very much but we talk often and see each other when we can.
<br>My top of the list blessing was recieving a phone call by one of my grandsons all on his own. (mom didn't even know he called me...lol.) I asked him how he got my phone number and he said you were
<br>number one on the caller id list...awwwww. ..I love him so much.
<br>I live in a semi-rural area and enjoy the 4 seasons as I did in michigan. Although I live 225 miles away the weather is the same. Especialy in winter! brrrr...But I am used to it.
<br>I love to cook,write poetry, sing, draw and sculpt and I'm planning on planting an herb garden this summer. I had three herbs in the front yard
<br>but my neighbor killed 1 and the other died on it's own. (At least I think so...lol. The neighbor was
<br>trying to help with bug killer!!!)
<br>Well since I'm finishing the book I started...lol. ..I am single and enjoying peace and contentment in N.E Ohio!!!...Hello again to all.
<br>
<br>Angel :)
