Add nuts and chocolate chips. 3 Chill batter for an hour and drop by 1/4 C measures 3" apart on buttered baking sheets. Bake in the middle of a 375 degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes; cool on rack. 4 Notes:years ago. (I've NEVER used the coriander.) The original recipe also said to drop by 1/3 C measures and THEN chill the dough. I just didn't have room in the fridge ;-) And the cookies are still huge when I use the 1/4 Cup to spoon 'em out... 5 * Will use approximately 16 oz. of nuts and 18 oz. of chips.
