I will try it sometime soon. You can also experiment with untraditional mixes of white and brown sugar until you achieve the version you like best. I recently received mail from someone who likes to use almond extract in equal parts with vanilla, and who also tells me that the honey trick didn't work for her. Experiment and see what you like. Whether or not you use Heath bars, cinnamon, maple syrup, or other non-standard ingredients, the nuts are optional.
Many people prefer chocolate chip cookies without nuts.
My friend Susan says that she doesn't bother adding more liquid and her cookies turn out fine, but I prefer always to add that extra tablespoon or two of milk. Also, if you add the Reese's peanut butter morsels as discussed above, they melt and create some additional moistness in the cookies. The morsels don't have to be Nestle. However, in my experience Nestle morsels do melt in a most satisfactory way during the baking process. Ghirardelli and Guittard morsels are very good.
