You had me at Walnut! I absolutely love how easy this recipe is and the fact that I can use walnuts, or any nuts, makes it even better. But I’ll probably never use anything but walnuts because they’re the best LOL!
I’m a fan of choc chip cookies but I really like the extra crunch from the walnuts.
These had such great flavor with the walnut addition, but the chewy texture was my favorite! Awesome!
