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!

Only a true foodie would soothe themselves by baking..lol Your cookies look amazing. A decadent chocolate cookie sounds so, so good and the white chocolate with pistacchios..both definitely OMG cookies for sure. Thanks for sharing them. I am really looking forward to trying them both.
That egg sandwich sounds totally delish too! You made very hungry:)
Ciao Chow Linda
Wow, I just got back from a few days at the shore without my husband but he didn't bake any fabulous cookies like these. What a nice treat to come home to.

Dennis,
Ya know.. Yesterday was one of those days when you wish you had the ability to become invisible. I totally agree with the cookie concept. Even though the day has passed, I think I am still in need of making these.

Oh those look sinful! I'll take two with a glass of skim milk please….
Tanantha @ I Just Love My Apron
You're so sweet! She will be back in no time Dennis 🙂
Love the cookies! Both versions are great. I can't decide which one to go first. May I have 2 at the same time?

Dennis…Hubby and I after 23 years feel the exact same way when he departs for business…and yes, I also bake to cheer myself up. When I go away on business…I find the very best bake shop ;o) Thankfully, we did find a sitter for our dog…and that way…at least we do get to spend our vacation time together. I wish you the same arrangement one day too.
The guy behaviour stuff…it's great how you acknowledge it ;o)
Now…to those cookies…especially the first one…incredibly sinful…gotta have them ;o))
Thanks for spoiling us with this one.
Ciao for now,
Claudia
