This is a great choc-chip cookie and I mean chocked full of chips. I too love the different spices added for a different twist-up. Fabulous tasting all around and one I will be making again. I omitted the walnuts per fam's choice. Thanks a bunch Liz. Made for 123-Hits! -
Delish! I skipped the crisco, I try to avoid it. http://www.westonaprice.org/motherlinda/fats_crisco.html . I did add just a touch of canola oil. It could be skipped and still be delish! I did use 1 1/4 cup walnuts. Didn`t want to save the last of the nuts so into the dough they went. I used 4 1/2 cups sifted flour. Measuring after sifting. Didn`t flatten the cookies. I like them full looking. Thanks. -
These were the most awesome holiday cookies we have ever tasted! you should be selling these! (we used pecans instead of walnuts though) Thanks LizAnn!

Amazing!!! I loved the extra flavor the cinnamon and allspice gave them. My DH was greedily eatting them for breakfast this morning. I did leave out the walnuts though as I ran out without noticing. Will be making these again for sure!
