This turned out awesome. Obviously, they were not what I was expecting. I wanted the flatter, rounder, melting in the middle cookies like the Otis Spunkmeyer ones they used to make when I went to high school. But they're really good. The salt is a great background. I didn't have walnuts and I didn't have any vegetable shortening so I did all butter. They freakin Rock! Does the job for my craving ??

They are eatable but not what I was hoping and I followed this recipe word for word step by step. Too many chocolate chips for my taste. I thought others were crazy for saying they were horrible now I get it! I don’t even know how one could improve it. I’m going to try one more time with coconut oil and half way melted butter and better quality walnuts.

I have been using this recipe for several year because these cookies taste amazing and ship much better than Nestle TollHouse cookies...I used to ship a lot to my kids in college. These make great bite-sized cookies that have a crunch on the outside and are soft on the inside. The only tweak I make is to add more chocolate chips.

I don't know what the panic is all about I just made these cookies with her recipe and it rocked! I used coconut oil as a substitute for shortening and it was amazing! i have to say try that and see what happens! and Healthier !

I wish I would have read the other reviews. I saw Otis Spunkmeyer and the 1st review. These are in no way, shape or form like Otis CC. Almost seems like a biscuit. Didn't like the taste and they were very dry. Instead of using regular shortening I used butter shortening and little bit less butter. Will never try again. I had wanted to try different cc recipes. But I think I'll stay with slice and bake. I know how theyll turn out. And nowhere near this much work. So disappointed.

Good but not crisp enough for me! I was hoping these would be hard and crunchy but they are soft centered - guess the eggs do that. I tried baking them at 375 and 350. The 350 ones I cooked for 15 minutes and they were a little crunchier.They are good though. I used pecans instead of walnuts as that's what I have on hand. Thanks for sharing!
