Diane Horan's Super Duper Chocolate Chip Cookies

More times than not, Diane makes these for me when I visit her overnight.
We have them with coffee in the evening and then we have them with coffee for breakfast.
And then she sends what is left home with me to eat while I drive.

She mixes the ingredients by hand.

1 cup room temperature Imperial margarine
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. water
2 large eggs

3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda

1 12 oz. bag of Nestlé's semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup broken walnuts

Cream together margarine and sugars.
Add vanilla, water, and eggs, mixing well after each addition.
Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together
and gradually add to wet mixture.
Mix well.
Fold in chocolate morsels and walnuts.
Bake at 350 for 11-12 min.

Grease pan with wax paper dipped in Crisco before each addition of dough.
Bake on bottom shelf.
Let cookie sheet cool before refilling.

Cookies may look under-baked but will be fine when cool.
Drop dough by large tablespoon on cookie sheet.
Remove from cookie sheet immediately and place on foil.

Makes 2 dozen.

Diane is famous in the neighborhood's she's lived in for these cookies.
The UPS man knows about them.
The TV repairman knows about them.
Her kids college roommates know about them.
And now, you know about them, in case you didn't before.
