Drop by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart ontoungreased baking sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11 to 13 minutesfor crisp cookies. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Removecookies to rack to cool completely.
I omitted the nuts that the recipe says are optional. Ithink nuts in cookies are an abomination, so I can’t even write it into therecipe as optional. But what you will enjoy instead is that WHOLE 12 ounce bagof chocolate chips in your cookies. Also, if you opt for the chewier cookie, Isuggest letting them cool on the baking sheet for the 2 minutes as suggested, then removing them to a sheet of foil placed on the counter. This will ensureyour chewy cookie doesn’t fall through the cooling rack. Enjoy!
