Eureka

I was checking out La Cremiere's blog where she was talking about making cookies. Since I hadn't baked anything for a long time I thought what the hell...

Me and the daughters headed up to Walmart and picked up the ingredients. I was going to get a couple of DVDs as well but rude ass people park their asses in front of the selections like there couldn't be anyone else on the planet besides themselves... God I hate people.

I didn't have a recipe so I bought anything that could possibly go into a cookie. Plus I bought out their complete stock of vegetarian burgers and hotdogs. For all of Walmarts faults they happen to carry some bizarre shit that nobody else will.

Anyhow, I got home and found out that I didn't have a recipe that quite fit so I took a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and modified it.

Hammer's Chocolate chip cookies:

2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup crushed walnuts (look for shell pieces carefully)
1 large egg
1 cup butter (2 sticks) I use salted

In a large bowl mix both sugars, the egg, butter, salt and baking soda until smooth
add flour, chocolate chips and walnuts stir until it's all one consistency. The dough will be really thick at this point.

Preheat oven to 375

Roll the cookie dough into golfball sized pieces and place them on a non-stick cookie sheet. Place the dough about 1 & 1/2 inches apart. Each standard cookie sheet should make 9 cookies.

Bake for 12 to 13 minutes. Each cookie should be an even light carmel brown on top.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before moving cookies to a plate.

My wife says I'm not allowed to make them anymore because she has already substituted 3 meals this weekend with a cookie and milk.
