Cookies: Better than the Original Chocolate Chip

Choc and Walnut Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract ( I am a vanilla snob...no artificial, go for the good stuff!)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips ( I like to use the chunky choc chips)
1 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

Yield: about 2 dozen (I use a cookie dough baller, which is about the size of a large melon baller, and tend to get a few more)

OK, if you know me, you know that chocolate is not one of my favorite things, but mmmmmmm I do love these cookies! Oooey gooey delish!

Caramel Chocolate Chip Bars

INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups butter, melted
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Mix in melted butter until evenly distributed. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand. In a small bowl, mix the caramel topping with the remaining flour; drizzle evenly over the chocolate chips. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the caramel layer and press down lightly.

Bake for 15 more minutes in the preheated oven. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. (No really, if you don't you have to eat the messed up ones. Wonder why I never have more than 6 cookies to serve...)
