Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you like nuts in your cookies, these are the chocolate chip cookies for you. They are quite nutty - he recommends 2 cups worth (I used walnuts and pecans), and very chocolatey, with 3 cups of chopped chocolate.

Interestingly, there's very little salt or baking powder. When I make these again I'm going to increase it beyond the 1/8 of a teaspoon he uses (!) and put at least 1/2 and likely closer to a whole teaspoon. I did find them a little lacking in salt, at least for my tastes.

Overall, a very credible chocolate chip cookie, and I did like these quite a bit, however if you're a purist, and expect only chocolate to adulterate your cookie, then these are not for you. If I had to choose, I'd still pick the New York Times recipe.
