How to Make Easiest Ever Cookies

  1. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, and 1/4 cup of milk together in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until smooth and melted.
  2. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 7-9 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft.
  5. Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely on a wire rack or wax paper to prevent sticking.
