This is a recipe that I adapted slightly. My mom gave me a bunch of old cook books before I moved out and this recipe is from the "St. Bartholomew's Anniversary Cookbook." St. Bartholomew the Apostle Church is located in Norwich, New York and has been around since 1919. The cookbook I have is from 1994 and was celebrating the church's 75th anniversary. Just think, in another seven years the church will be 100 years old! Very cool :)
The original recipe called for butter flavored Crisco but decided to substitute it with olive oil, a much healthier option, and I didn't use salt. Also when I first made this recipe I only had baking powder instead of baking soda. I didn't notice much of a difference but feel free to try it both ways. Oh, and instead of walnuts I used macadamia nuts....I swear that's the last change.
2 1/4 cups of flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tap. salt (optional)
1 cup of olive oil
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. of vanilla
1 (12 oz) bag of chocolate chips
1 cup of macadamia nuts
Preheat oven to 350. Blend olive oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and baking soda. Add brown sugar and blend well. Gradually add flour and mix until smooth. Add chocolate and nuts. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 6 dozen, depending on the size of the cookies you have.
