These are very good cookies. Lots of good chocolate and nuts. Easy to make and put together. Thanks so much for the recipe.

I used almond extract instead of vanilla, and pecans. I have never had so many people ask me for a recipe before, they were so good! The almond extract really gave it an amazing flavor...

This Baker's One Bowl Recipe is a real winner, although my recipe is a bit different. I add 1/2 cup peanut butter in with the sugar, and the chopped nuts used are peanuts, not pecans or walnuts. Thus the name for my version is Chocolate Bliss Peanut Butter Cookies.

These are definitely some of the best cookies I've ever made; even though they were only around long enough for me to taste ONE!!! You won't be disappointed with these!!!
