One of the best cookies I have EVER made, no joke. They are perfectly chewy with a slight crunch on the outside(once completly cooled). The chocolate and walnut compliment each other wonderfully. I baked mine for 15 minutes (I have an electric oven) and they came out just right, so I don't suggest going over that time unless you want them to be more crunchy instead of chewy. My family has already devoured my first batch and it has become their new favorite.

  4. On the first ingredient...do you mean two cups of all-purpose flour and 2 extra tbs? I'm a little confused.
