Chocolate Cookies image

My grandmother used to make these and what a favorite they are. As I type this recipe, I see her handwriting and remember those good ole days! These are a delicate, cake like cookie with chocolate frosting. The nuts are optional, if you like them add them. Pecans or peanuts taste just as great as walnuts do.

I've tried this recipe with different types of chocolate chips and they all work well. I especially like using dark chocolate chips.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate.

I love that this recipe uses melted butter instead of softened butter. It makes the cookies so much easier to make.
