Guittard Original Chocolate Chip Cookie

This somehow became a recipe for special occasions and holidays. Have been making them for many years after getting the recipe from the bag of chips! We almost always do the bar cookie variation, and they are easy, easy, easy. And just as good made with pecans instead of walnuts. Maybe better.
