Mama's Chip Cookies

I wanted to use up my miniature chocolate chips, and I found this recipe in My Great Recipes. I like the smaller chocolate chips better because you get a more even distribution of walnuts, chocolate, and cookie dough. I made this with butter. I used the butter wrapper to grease the pans (just say no to cooking spray and save money). I also made my cookies a tad bigger. Yum!
