Copy Cat Paradise Bakery Chocolate Chippers

paradise-cookie-recipe

Move over Paradise Bakery. There is a new chocolate chipper in town. These smack you in the face chocolate cookies are somewhat reminiscent of the famous Paradise Bakery chocolate chip cookie.
Only better.
Yep, I said it. These are better. I know they’re better because every time I’m near a Paradise Bakery, I stop to get one. Or three. I’m not one to pass up chocolate. Or drive out of my way to get it. It’s simply not in my nature. You can blame my Mom.

And since driving 30 miles for a chocolate chip cookie seems a bit extreme, I decided to try and recreate the cookies at home. These are pretty close to the real deal. The original has white chocolate chips only but I decided to get all crazy and add milk chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Feel free to follow your heart on this one. However you decide to make them, you’re in for a treat. And you only have to walk to the kitchen to get your fix.
