ingredients
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups vanilla wafers, crushed fine
1 cup pecans (finely chopped)
1/2 cup sugar (white, granulated)
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup cognac (use the best you can afford, it makes a difference!)
directions
Melt chocolate bits. If you have never worked with melted chocolate before, then use a double boiler with the burner set on low.
Crush vanilla wafers very fine (fineness is important). Chop pecans (again fineness is everything). Add sugar, corn syrup and cognac (I use 1 nip of cognac and 1/2 nip of rum, works fine and costs less). Stir in pecans and wafer crumbs. Now you learn why you were supposed to grind them very finely.
By now the mixture should be a smooth paste. Remove from heat and form into about 1-inch balls. Roll balls in extra granulated sugar.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
