Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly different flavor, substitute half of the white sugar with brown sugar or add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness. You can also replace walnuts with pecans or omit them for a nut-free version. If you prefer a richer chocolate taste, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. To ensure even baking, make sure your cookie sheet is preheated.
