Friend--All in one cookie(oatmeal, raisin, walnut, chocolate, date)

These are  the steps around the Colin Tower in San Francisco. Some commercial things, you pay, then you get a  brick that you can put your name on it, but these two are so special, they are for *friend*. So I am the one on the left, and you are on right, we are remembered by San Francisco.

Cookies

all in one cookie: oatmeal, raisin, walnut, chocolate, date

Besides this one, the last time I made cookies was several years ago, when I was shocked by how much butter and sugar in it, then refuse to make it and even have some fear to eat it. One day, in a bakery, I was asked 'what kind of cookie do you want?' , I just said ' I don't want cookie', then a smiling old guy in front of me, turned around and said' how could you not want cookie?!', yeah, how could I ? then I get the white-chocolate-macadamia-nut-cookie and a smile ...

I am not an expert for cookies, there are some tips I want to write down for memo:

1. use 1/4 cup(or so) less flour as required

2. vegetable shortening can make it more chewy, so I use both butter and shortening

3.chill the dough before making

4.longer the bake time, more crispy, I will use 10mins @350F
