I created this recipe when I had company coming for Christmas and I was fresh out of chocolate chips. The cookies were such a hit with family that they became a treasured holiday tradition. I've been making the recipe for over 40 years now. -Jeanne Walker, Oxnard, California

I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. They turned out great!
