- 12 ounces/1 bag of Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup mini-M&M’s or 2 cups chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper (brown paper bags cut to size will do as well)

- Mix together the flour, soda salt but do not sift; beat into batter.
- Add the chocolate chips and mini-M&M’s or chopped nuts and stir until thoroughly mixed.

- Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes turning the baking sheets, end for end, and trading oven racks (top to bottom) at halfway point.
