Carnival Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

This recipe arrived in my inbox not a moment too soon!  These yummy, shortbread-like chocolate chip cookies were a huge part of my first cruise aboard the Carnival Victory and I'm so, so happy to be able to share the official recipe with y'all.  Here's hoping the magic of these cookies is strong enough to break my baking curse as well!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 pound margarine
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
18 ounces (1 1/2 12-ounce bags) chocolate chips 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon and put aside.
In mixer, beat margarine, sugars, chocolate syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beat until smooth, approximately 5 minutes. Add dry ingredients, chocolate chips, and nuts and mix by hand with wooden spoon until mixed.
Drop on baking sheet by rounded teaspoons, about 2-inches apart, and bake for 12 to14 minutes. Cool and eat!
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
Cook Time: 14 minutes.
