cause these cookies are killing me. OMG good! I modified a recipe I found online and I know I've died, and gone somewhere  that has cookies that melt in your mouth goodness. I decided, I guess, that I'm not nearly fat enough.

Okay, Here It Is

I cut the recipe in half, as I didn't have enough chocolate to make the full recipe. Shortening would give the cookies a nice texture and probably add to the taste, but I won't use it, so I tried more butter.

3 sticks of butter softened

call for - 1 cup of Crisco shortening - I used extra butter

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups white sugar - I used raw sugar

4 eggs

2 tbsp vanilla

7 cups flour

1 1/4 tbsp baking soda

3/4 tbsp salt

24 oz chocolate chips - I used a 62% cacao bar, broken into pieces

I added nuts to the recipe, I had a partial bag of pecans and of walnuts. I broke them and added them in. I think for the halved recipe I had about a cup.

OOPS! I forgot: 

Cream together butter & sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Sift together flour, soda and salt. add chips and nuts. Drop by golf sized scoops onto ungreased baking sheet.

 bake @ 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet and remove to wire rack to cool an additional 30 minutes.
