"We have a lovely lady at my workplace that spoils us rotten. She will make cookies in our kitchen and come around with these little treats mid mornings. She makes the cookies with margarine - the recipe calls for butter. The recipe also called for 1/2 cup walnuts in the last step which I have omitted."

Delicious, moist and my kids love them! I made these exactly as directed and made 30 cookies using my cookie dough scoop. I wouldn't change a thing! Made for Went To The Market tag game. Thanks Deantini! :)

This is one of the few times I've made a batch of cookies & kept them all right here at home! Loved everything about these great little tasties including the whole wheat flour, the chocolate chunks that I used, AND, I'll admit, the nuts, too, but then we do like the latter as well! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Made recipe as written, making only 18 cookies, and chocolate chips. We thoroughly enjoyed these as a mini-snack during movie night here. Definately delightful cookies. Made for 1-2-3 hits.
