This recipe is adapted from Lake Placid Lodge's recipe for Triple Chocolate Cookies with Pistachios which appeared in Gourmet Magazine, May 1998 Notes: A white chocolate bar can be substituted for the white chocolate chips. Just chop into coarse chunks....
I use butter and eggs right out of the refrigerator so the dough stays cool and the cookies maintain their thickness during baking; I also use ungreased cookie sheets. To keep the cookies soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container along with a slice of bread.
I was served this cookie at a restaurant in Springfield, MO during a business conference. Went home and made up this recipe which has been a hit at any church gathering when I take them...better than the one I had at the conference.
I modified Beatrice's Excellent Oatmeal cookies very slightly. I came up with something that my boyfriend went CRAZY over! I've never seen him enjoy cookies to that extent! He said I blew his mother's recipe away.
