Double Chocolate Walnut Cookies

     There are a few recipes I want to pass on to the younger generation to enjoy and this one for double chocolate walnut cookies is one of them. It's always a hit and never disappoints; comfort food through and through.

     Prepared cookie dough keeps well frozen too for when you have unexpected guests or for late night cravings. You can scoop prepared cookie dough onto a cookie sheet. Pop the sheet in the freezer. Once the cookies are frozen, you can put them in resealable freezer bags and keep up to three months frozen. All you need to do is thaw them out on the counter while your oven is preheating. Twelve minutes in the oven and you have warm cookies in a jiffy.

Here's the recipe for the coolest cookie around:
