Now there are two things you will want to do that will change this cookie and not for the better. First of all, no matter how much you want to, do not add any more flour to this mixture, you do not need it…….trust me!
Secondly, do not leave these cookies to bake too long, you want the inside to still be a little gooey, as long as the outside has set the inside should be fine, so do not go past the recommended time! After the cookie sits a while it sill set up. I also found that using all bittersweet chocolate doesn’t do the cookie justice, I use the absolutely best chocolate I can find, and its always Semi-sweet or Bittersweet, but I use plain old toll house chips for the second addition, feel free to adjust this as you like. But all bittersweet won’t give it that OMG taste! Now for my second cookie……sigh……I keep telling you I’m not a trained baker, but I do love to bake! Well, I knew just changing over white chocolate for dark chocolate wouldn’t be an equal trade-off…..I knew that….but I figured well, maybe it would (this is typical guy behavior, we know something isn’t really right, but we do it anyway…sigh). Now what I did do, was to cut the sugar in half, White chocolate is sweeter, and I upped the flour by ⅓ cup……well that wasn’t quite enough. I should have used at least a half a cup, maybe even a little bit more. I also should have thrown it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to let it set up better, it started to spread before it went in the oven. But even with all that the cookie was almost, and I do say almost an OMG cookie. I used salted pistachios instead of walnuts, and the salt was perfect with the sweetness of the cookie, that was a good decision!

I made some "lonesome" cookies today too- my son and family just moved to Texas and I'm missing my grandson. Yours look delicious- I'll have to save the recipe for another time I need to bake. I secretly love that bacon too- my kids call it fake-on. It's great when you only need a slice or two for a tomato sandwich.
A SPICY PERSPECTIVE
Cookies always cheer me up too…until I get on the scale!!! That's why I tell me husband he can't go out of town without me–there's no telling how many cookie batches I might throw down!
They both look divine!
A Thought For Food
Whenever I'm away from my husband, I feel like a piece of me is missing. It is ok for a day, but more than that and I feel lost.
But who couldn't cheer up after having a batch of these fantastic cookies!

I love your motto Dennis! They look fantastic!
Allie and Pattie
Oooh, Dennis. The chocolate version will be in our cookie jar tomorrow- if it makes it that far. My husband and Allie are serious chocoholics. And while they're distracted with those, I may just make ME some of the white ones! YUM

Those girls must adore you!!
