Notes
- If you wish you could use a stand mixer with the flat beater attachment, just be sure to combine the flour, chocolate chips and nuts on low speed and do not over mix.
- The cookies should be stored in an airtight container. They can be left out at room temperature (if it isn’t too warm) over night. Longer than that they should be stored in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week.
- Or freeze the completely cooled cookies on a cookie sheet for about 1-2 hours until firm then place in a freezer safe container or bag. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw the cookies at room temperature.
