"Although the taste and combination of ingredients are GOOD, the execution of this recipe sucks. The way they tell you how to make it makes ur cookies turn out dry and crumbly!!! What i would do different is sift the flour,salt, and cocoa together into a separate bowl from the rest of the baking dry ingredients, and after mixing the egg, butter, sugar, and vanilla; slowly incorporate the flour mixture into it to make a batter. Then, add in the chips and nuts. I dont know if that will help reduce the dryness or texture of the batter but if not, then it needs to be adjusted so add more eggs or butter/oil/water??? Bad recipe overall , taste gets 5 stars tho.
-If this were to be sent as a gift in a jar, make sure u tell the recipient to sift all the ingredients in the jar so the flour n cocoa falls out, then do wat i suggested up there.
