  1. I got this same recipe from an aunt of mine who always made these whenever we had family gatherings. It's one of my favorites because I don't have to spend the time making dough balls to have chocolate chip cookies. It's quick and easy and so yummy. I use vanilla extract instead of maple, and I put my nuts into the dough like the chocolate chips.
