I did two batches, and for the second I put them directly on the baking sheet instead of using aluminum foil. Much easier.

The picture doesn't look very appetizing unfortunately, but the cookies themselves were. They turned out not as overwhelmingly sweet as others I've made, which was a welcome improvement. The only change I would recommend is to mix in the butter and eggs before adding the chocolate chips and nuts, just for ease in creaming the butter. Otherwise an excellent recipe.

Makes a very rich and incredibly moist brownie (appearing almost undercooked in the center), though at the cost of twice the eggs and a full 5x the chocolate of my other standard recipe (from Bittman's How to Cook Everything). I'm not convinced it's worth all the extra trouble to save some flour.
