Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed, cream sugars and margarine until light.
- Beat in egg and vanilla.
- On low speed, add flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix well.
- Fold in chopped pecans or walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate morsels.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute the margarine with softened butter for a richer flavor. If you're out of eggs, try using a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water) for binding. For a unique twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Super Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect on their own or served alongside a glass of cold milk. For a delightful dessert experience, pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter, especially when accompanied by other treats like Hillary'S Cheese Scalloped Potatoes for a savory-sweet combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them fresh longer, you can freeze the cookies for up to three months. Reheat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat, or place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of nuts or omit them entirely?
Absolutely! You can use any nuts you prefer or leave them out altogether for a nut-free version. Try adding dried fruits or seeds for added texture and flavor if you prefer a nut-free cookie.
What if I don’t have semi-sweet chocolate morsels?
You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate morsels with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips, depending on your taste preference. Chopped chocolate bars also work well and can give your cookies a nice melty texture.
How can I make these cookies softer?
To achieve softer cookies, try reducing the baking time slightly or adding an extra tablespoon of margarine. Additionally, using brown sugar instead of white sugar can help retain moisture, resulting in a softer cookie.
