Ingredients:

1 cup Cacao Bitter-Sweet Chips or Semi-Sweet Chips

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, melted & cooled

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 TB plus 2 tsp light corn syrup

2 TB milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Method:

Preheat oven - 325F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil, dull side up.

In a medium size bowl: mix flour, soda, salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl: Cream butter with sugars. Add, corn syrup, milk, & vanilla. Mix until smooth.

Stir in flour mixture. Stir in chips and nuts. Dough will be very soft.

Divide dough in half. Working with one half at a time - divide into 10 equal pieces. Place 5 pieces at least 3 inches apart on each baking sheet. With plastic covered fingers, flatten each piece until it is 3" in diameter. Bake for 8 minutes, rotate pan and bake an additional 7-10 minutes more, until golden brown.

Let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Then slide foil off with cookies and cool on rack completely before stacking.
