I'm really glad I found this recipe; I think it will be a great staple in my cookie repertoire. I doubled it and added 1 tsp vanilla. Very dry and crumbly batter; I gave up using a spoon and just dug in with my hands! Baked for 22 minutes, but will prob leave in oven longer next time. I also used mini-morsels bc that's what I had one hand. I am excited to try other additives, like Heath toffee bits and butterscotch chips. Great recipe!!

i gave these 4 stars and considered if i should even rate them since i messed the step up trying to do thi all in one bowl. ended up with the baking powder in with the butter then i added the flour then it was too dry so i added an egg and then the chocolate chips. the end result was nice. i made these late one night as a snack and they did just the trick. they didnt flatten out like i see in the photos but im so sure thats my fault.totally easy recipe even if you read it wrong.

I loved these cookies! My husband, who does not eat many sweets, ate more than I did. Have already made 2 batches in the last 3 weeks!

Whats not to love about shortbread and chocolate! Very easy recipe and they baked up perfectly. I added a little vanilla. Next time I'll try the mini chips and cut them back a bit because the shortbread is soo good I don't think it needs all the chocolate.

Family loved this. I also made these using brown sugar for half of the sugar and I added vanilla-about 1 tsp. and I flatten the cookies with a glass bottom that was sprayed with Pam and dipped in sugar. Also tried sliced almonds instead walnuts. The recipe is excellent with the changes or as originally written. I did bake them at 325 for 17 minutes or you will be in the kitchen all day.

I've tried several cookie recipes and i really iked this one, not as buttery as a real meant to be cookie... I replaced the butter with vegan butter and the white sugar with brown sugar, so that even my vegan bf could eat it. They were gorgerous, baked the whole batch and only about 3 got to cool off. Kudos to Tina.

These are shortbread cookies, not sweet & gooey chocolate chip cookies! That said, we LOVE them! I used whole-wheat flour (skipped the sifting), smart balance 50/50 butter blend, and natural sugar. Added some extra chocolate chips to make up for the walnuts that I omitted. The cookies take about 22 minutes in my oven. YUM! EASY!

These are rather tasty, but a slight disappointment if you are wanting a traditional chocolate chip cookie. Definitely worth trying though.

These cookies just melt in your mouth. I left out the walnuts. I was a bit worried when making them as the mixture never came together properly. It did when I started rolling it into balls though and they really firm up in the oven. Thanks for the recipe Tina

Really nice for my shortbread craving. I used salted butter and omitted salt; used milk chocolate chips (on hand) and cooked for 22 minutes at designated temp. Will definitely use this recipe again. Maybe butterscotch chips next time!

The best way to explain this cookie is like the cookies that you can buy at the store called "Sandies"(Keebler). This is exactly what this cookie is, minus the Pecans.. although that would probably make a great addition. I only did 3/4 of butter and 1/4 white sugar & 1/4 Brown sugar (took that idea from someone else) I think it made it taste waaaay better and ADD VANILLIA it makes a HUGE difference, I made 2 batches one with and one with out. Someone else said this is not a traditional chocolate-ship cookie, its not its very different. But it is good and helped my craving of choco-chip cookies. (I made it because I didnt have any baking 'soda' and wanted choco-chip cookies)

A very good shortbread cookie. The only thing I did different was to use margarine instead of butter since that's what I had on hand. I was so scared that the margarine would ruin it, but they actually turned out well. Just a little softer than shortbread. Oh, and I added a bit of vanilla. Overall, the batter handled very nicely, they baked up beautifully and the flavor was delicious. Definitely a keeper since a nice, simple cookie is sometimes a welcome break. Thanks for sharing, Tina.

Mmm this was good. I got less than 2 doz but my cookies must be bigger...The changes I made were: used 1/2 tsp vanilla, chopped pecans instead of walnuts, no chocolate, baked at 325 for about 25 min. MMM delish! Next time maybe I'll try the chocolate or maybe orange peel or lemon. Lots of possibilities!

OH MY! If you love butter, this is the one for you. I read the other reviews and went ahead and split the sugar between the white and brown and added a dash of vanilla and these could not be more perfect. Completely different from the traditional chocolate chip cookie, but still just as heart warming.
