Chocolate Chunk Pine Nut Cookies

Most people think that because I bake so often,that the last thing I would ever want is for someone else to bake for me....WRONG!!!!I love my sweets,and I really love when friends share their desserts and recipes with me.
   After my son Timmy had finished his Father's Day deliveries,my neighbor Maria surprised me with a bag of delicious cookies that she had made that day.She also,was kind enough to share the recipe.I love pine nuts,and am a self-professed chocoholic,so naturally I loved them!This is an easy recipe,that reminds me of a shortbread cookie with cocoa.....it is a perfect accompaniment to a glass of tea or coffee,or in my case,a big glass of ice cold milk.Enjoy!
