1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips or Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/3 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup, plus
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, or more to taste
How do you get 16 cookies/servings out of this if you divide the dough in half and make 10 cookies from each? Before I make them I just need to know how many calories in each. I can't trust the nutrient info on the recipe based on each cookie if the number of cookies doesn't come out right. Later: I made them anyway and added the total calories & divided by 20 cookies. There are 190 calories in each if you make 20. I used a whole cup of chopped pecans. Works better on foil than on Silpat. If you want them thin you have to spread the dough thin when you shape them on the baking sheet. Otherwise they're still hard/crispy but thicker.
They were flat on the edges and puffier in the middle. Nothing like the picture. I added 2 tbs more flour to the rest of the batter. They came out a little too thick and had a flour taste. Guess I need to play with the flour if I want to make these again. I bake a lot! There are no eggs in this recipe, so it is good for anyone making cookies for an egg allergy child. :-) I will continue on my quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

This cookie is ADDICTIVE! They're like Pringles once you pop you can't stop! Be prepared to gain 10 lbs because you won't be able to contain yourself. The crunchiness of this cookie is what makes it so addictive. I used Andies mint chips since I didn't have the chocolate chips. Baked up nice and tasted wonderful.
VERY EASY TO MAKE AND YUMMY
Excellent!! Actually made with no changes...seriously a must to bake.
Crispy and delicious but the chocolate from the Ghirardelli is almost too overwhelming. I followed the recipe almost exactly and the came out crispy and light. I had to leave them in the oven for about 4 minutes more so that they were perfecto!
Followed this to the letter and they were a gloppy mess.
ooohhh lala... i love crispy cookies
