Double Chocolate Cookies (The Best!)
There are a lot of ways to say, “I love you” but isn’t a homemade cookie really the best? The answer of course is yes and if you haven’t nailed your own perfect cookie recipe, I am happily going to share mine. This cookie is irresistible I don’t know anyone who doesn’t eat one and then enjoy a second! I’ve played with a basic recipe for years until it was just delicious and once you try these cookies, I think you will agree.
They have all the right stuff – chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, oats, and walnuts. The cookies are a little crunchy and a little soft in the middle with just enough salt. The recipe is easy. Cream butter and sugar. Half white and half brown gives the best result. Eggs and vanilla then the flour mixture round out the base. Now it’s time for the good part. Double chocolate, oats, and nuts. You can try other nuts, but walnuts have such a unique flavor and just the right crunch. They bake in 10 minutes and are yummy right out of the oven with a big glass of milk. I recently took these to a sick friend and the family reviews were over the top. Remember – cookies are always the right answer for what to give someone you cherish. It won’t hurt to share a few with yourself. Enjoy!
