Fudge-Walnut Chewies

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"You can use pecans in place of walnuts if desired. The recipe for this states 5 dozen, but I didn't get even close to that when I made this, so yield is only estimated. Since these are small they are great to serve at a get together on a cookie tray. These are really good!"

These are so easy to make but at first I wasnt so sold on them, BUT after they sit, cool down and even after a day, I find them delightful! I got exactly 36 and I made mine with a TBS scoop. They hardly spread so a bunch go on 1 cookie sheet. I thought that maybe I had not baked them long enough as they are very soft, almost fudgelike when they come from the oven, but after setting they do harden up and become a chewy, moist cookie, very chocolaty I might add. I am going to try these with peanut butter chips and also milk chocolate for a different variety. Thanks Carol!
