Just made these but used 1 cup toasted chopped pecans, and used maple flavor instead. I even converted the toughest chocolate lovers in my family and it is unanimous...these are the favorite #1 cookie now. My kids would never eat nuts before, and they did not even realize there were nuts in these cookies. This recipe is a keeper! I am going to invest in vanilla-butternut flavoring and try it in cakes, waffles, etc.. Love the recipes and blog....nothing worse than trying a recipe with disappointing results just to discover it was a bad recipe to begin with, and am delighted that I don't have to worry about that here!! America's Test Kitchen and King Arthur Flour are my new go to spots for tried and true recipes that are fabulous!!
