- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (3 squares)
- 12 cup butter, softened
- 3 eggs
- 1 14 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 23 cup flour
- 12 teaspoon baking powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1 12 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 12 cups walnuts, chopped and toasted
- 1 12 cups pecans, chopped and toasted
- 1 12 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional) or 1 12 cups white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shortening (optional)
Method
- Preheat oven to 325F; spray 3 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line them with parchment paper.
- Melt 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, and butter in the microwave (about 1 1/2 minutes in my microwave) or over double broiler over simmering water.
- Cool.
- Beat eggs with sugar.
- Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir into chocolate mixture just until combined.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips and nuts.
- If desired, refrigerate dough until ready to bake.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets.
- Bake 7-8 minutes, until barely firm and tops are slightly cracked.
- Cool on cookies sheets 2 minutes and then transfer to wire racks.
- After cookies have cooled, if you would like to make these cookies look extra special, dip them in melted chocolate: Melt chocolate chips (either semi-sweet or white) along with shortening in a small bowl.
- Dip 1 half of cookie in melted chocolate.
- Lay onto waxed paper or a wire cookie rack to dry.
- Sometimes I dip the cookies in semisweet chocolate and then drizzle them with melted white chocolate.
