Operation Slimdown the Dessert Binder Week 2

This week I'm going with a cookie.  It's from Nestle Toll House and although it is a little interesting it really caught my eye. Grant gave it an 8.5 and I gave it a 9. Easy to make, and love the salty addition to the plain ol chocolate chip cookie.  I left out the peanuts but otherwise followed the recipe to a tee. So far operation slim down the dessert binder is a bust...I'm suppose to be getting rid of recipes:) Only 2 in and they're both keepers.
