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!

Dennis, your cookies look decadent indeed. They make me happy to see them, and I wasn't even sad to start with! I'm half-expecting squash blossom cookies on your baking repertoire next. Come on, surprise us!
PS. Hope you're feeling better and not too lonely anymore. Cookies make the world go round, as you can see here.

Aww Chef Dennis, you're so sweet. Missing your wifey and making cookies how endearing. You're cookies look fantastic and I bet your kitchen smelled divine. I hope you're felling better and I hope your wife returns home to you. She's one lucky lady (=

Dennis, I think there is a baker hidden deep inside. Your cookies look wonderful and I'm sure they were OMG good.

Totally agree with you…..bake cookies on bad days to keep the mind at bay 😀 But I also wish someone would bake for me. I think I must teach my hubby to bake cookies. But I know what he would do. He would just run to the supermarket & grab a packet for me…haha. I had just baked some chocolate cookies a few days ago…must be the most chocolatey cookies I have ever made. I used all dark chocolates. It was actually bitter. Thank goodness they tasted much better the next day. My children likes them. Phew! what a relief! 😀

OMG Dennis…I want to be your mother and come stay with you when you're lonely (((trust me I'm old enough to be your mother)))
Not only do I adore cookies but like you, my surrogate son, I have had many fried eggs and OJ for dinner 😀 another one of my menus will be PB&J or beans & weinies, and let's not forget those thick slices of garden tomatoes with mayo on white bread…I've never tried the fake bacon, but if it comes recommended by you I'll add it to the shopping list…
Hug your dogs sweetie…your lovely wife will be home before you know it 😀

My husband feels the same whenever I go to Portugal on my own but to be completely honest, sometimes is nice to have a break and to be apart for a while.
Great philosophy you have.
Cookies are definitely one of my best friends. Awesome recipes and great clicks.
Wishing you a great weekend ♥

I think that's super sweet that you don't like being away from your wife, and even sweeter that you're admitting it on your blog. Those cookies look divine, especially the white chocolate ones. I love white chocolate!
