This turned out awesome. Obviously, they were not what I was expecting. I wanted the flatter, rounder, melting in the middle cookies like the Otis Spunkmeyer ones they used to make when I went to high school. But they're really good. The salt is a great background. I didn't have walnuts and I didn't have any vegetable shortening so I did all butter. They freakin Rock! Does the job for my craving ??

They are eatable but not what I was hoping and I followed this recipe word for word step by step. Too many chocolate chips for my taste. I thought others were crazy for saying they were horrible now I get it! I don’t even know how one could improve it. I’m going to try one more time with coconut oil and half way melted butter and better quality walnuts.
