These bars are just soooooo fabulous! I can't say enough of how good a treat this is. I have tried many different ones and this is by far the best. So buttery and chocolately. Makes you want to keep eating. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

I used this as the 'crust' for pecan toffee bars. (I lost my recipe that I've used for years). This recipe was perfect for my bars. I made the recipe as directed, then topped it with a mixture of butter, brown sugar and ground pecans that had been boiled together. It was as good or better as my old recipe.

I have been making these cookies for Christmas for ages. I think the original recipe was in a Betty Crocker cookbook. If I want a chewier cookie, I spread the dough in a 9 x 13 pan and bake for 25 minutes. I have tried different chocolates from Hersheys milk chocolate to Ghiradelli bittersweet. My favorite is a 12 ounce package of Nestle semi-sweet morsels. I had a problem with the Ghiradelli chocolate cracking off the cookie base like a layer of shale. In this case, the cheaper chocolate seems to do better.

Mine burnt slightly, due to kid distractions. I still thought the bottom was a bit dry (the parts that came out right). I used choc chips, and 6 oz did NOT seem enough; I think it's supposed to read 16 oz? That's what I used and it seemed about right (more would even be better...). The nuts were a bit much, too, but maybe because I used walnuts--pecans may work better. Will try again sometime.
