I played around with several cookie recipes to come up with a base that would work well with many flavors. I have done white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, and caramel chocolate swirl chip with pecans from this recipe and they came out perfect everytime. The cookies are firm, but still soft and moist.
