DessertCookies
Ingredients
- 4 squares Baker's semi-sweet Chocolate
- ½ Cup butter, room temperature
- ½ Cup granulated sugar
- ¼ Cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 Cup all purpose Flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ Cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Melt 1 square chocolate. Let cool slightly
- Roughly chop remaining 3 squares of chocolate (or use 3 ounces chocolate chips). Set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy (should turn a lighter colour and become airy). Stir in the melted chocolate.
- Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, then the chopped chocolate and nuts.
- Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (very important!).
- Heat oven to 375°F. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place on greased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes (depending on how big the balls end up being) until they look like they are just barely done or even slightly underdone (very important!). Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet then remove to wire racks. Makes about 12-15 cookies.
