NOTES : Risa's notes:
* I used a silpat liner on one sheet pan and a piece
of parchment paper on the other so I wouldn't have to
grease or spray the sheets, cuts down on some fat
grams.
I used pecans and hazelnuts instead of walnuts.
These do not have the texture of real chocolate chip
cookies but they do smell like them when baking. They
have a nice taste. A little hard in texture though.
If you refrigerate the dough for a little while it
will get quite hard and then you can roll the dough
into balls and then flatten them, if you wish. They do
go onto the cookie sheet best when unrefrigerated.
They do not spread while baking like regular cookies
so where you put them they will stay.
For variation: You can make a ball, and place 1/2 a
nut in the middle.
