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, both of the cookies sound wonderful, but that second cookie looks so good. It's almost shiny or something. Like it has a brownie like outside-pretty. You know, I love good white chocolate-not the cheap stuff that won't melt b/c it's fake food. The nice cocoa buttery kind of white chocolate that you can get at Whole Foods. Yum! I wish I could taste that second cookie, Dennis!
p.s. Glad your guy behavior worked out for you this time (smile).

Hi! Sorry I haven't stopped by in a while. Life has been a bit crazy lately. I am really glad I came by today and saw your cookie post. I'm the same way when the love of my life leaves for a business trip for a few days. Next time I will have to try one of your cookie recipes. You know one of the reasons we live where we are is because we can drop our dog off with the grandparents? I feel really lucky to have that so we can both getaway. Thanks again for the great recipes and idea.

Aw Dennis, how sweet! That's adorable that you're missing your wife, but yes, baking totally does help. See my latest post for details on that one!
The cookies look delicious, though – I think I'm going to be doing a lot of baking over the next few weeks! Will have to keep these recipes on hand…

🙁 I'm sorry you're sad that bums me out. What makes me sadder is the thought of you eating a P B & J for DINNER! Please don't, eat cheesey mac instead!
So…is that theory kind of like the question: if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it does it make a sound? LOL. Your cookies look great. Both of them! I love cookies, they're one of the things I'd rather receive than flowers for a special occasion.
I hope you have a good day.

I agree, cookies always help.

Those cookies (both versions) look delightful and I'll probably try the white soon. BUT, kraft mac & cheese and everything bagel egg sandwiches!! OMG, yummy!!! I'd probably take those two over a cookie. 🙂

I hate and love the fact that you're sad! Hate it because I feel bad for you, but love it because it means that your wife is your best friend and you missing her means a part of you is missing. That's too cool.
