One of the best cookie recipes I've tried on here yet. Thanks for sharing that with us.

OMG they're SO GOOD! I followed the recipe almost as written here though I agree, Kathleen said 2 1/4 CUPS butter when she was making them on the show today (watched it twice!. I think she probably got the 1 1/4 cups mixed up with 2 1/2 sticks or something and just said it wrong. You can plainly tell when she's making the recipe it is 2 1/2 STICKS or 1 1/4 CUPS of butter which would be the correct proportion for the amount of flour, etc. At any rate, just to weigh in on the debate... the recipe written here is correct. And one reviewer wrote that Kathleen used walnuts on the show - that is incorrect. She used chopped almonds (though walnuts would be great too, I'm sure!. I used double dutch dark cocoa from King Arthur Flour (SO GOOD! and added a mixture of semi-sweet, milk and bittersweet chips to make up the 2 1/2 cups (NO WHITE, husband can't stand them. The baking time was right on for me. Using a 2" ice cream scoop, my batch made about 30 cookies (ok, I nibbled on the dough. Crunchy on the outside, moist & rich on the inside; nice and chunky. Definitely a keeper recipe!

After having many neighbors helping to dig our cul de sac out from one of the biggest snow storms in 100 years, I baked these cookies for everyone. They were amazing and incredibly easy to make. I used slice almonds (no need to chop them, since that is all I had on hand. They turned out great, so I wouldn't hesitate use sliced ones again.

I made these cookies last year and they were great. I just saw the show again and here are two corrections: 1. It's 2 1/4 cups of butter. 2. It's non salted butter as she adds the salt separately. I just found last year's recipe and I was correct. They turned out perfect.

I made these cookies right after watching the episode, they turned out delicious, but I re watched the episode and it is 2 1/4 CUPS of butter, not 1 1/4. Some are saying that it is 2 1/4 sticks, but I watched the episode and counted how many full sticks she put in and it definitely added up to 2 1/4 cups of butter. Even though I only used 1 1/4 cups of butter they were still delicious. I am going to make them again this week with the 2 1/4 cups of butter and see how they differ. I am going to post these cookies on my blog if you want to see how they turned out, carlyskitchen.blogspot.com

Had no problems with this recipe! I substitued the white chocolate for bittersweet was the only exception, and made my cookies bigger, so only made about 40! Came out delicious and will make them over and over again!

Does anyone know the amount of almonds used on the show? I can't find a measurement listed on the recipe.
