Meet Wally Amos, founder of two different cookie companies, literacy advocate, and resident of Kailua (Scotty Boys home town). We stopped in for some of his chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, and there he was whippin' 'em up himself. Once a week you can visit the store, Chip and Cookie, to listen to Wally read and get a free cookie to boot. Copycat Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies:
