Ingredients
¼cupall-purpose flour
¼teaspoonbaking powder
⅛teaspoonkosher salt
8ouncesbittersweet chocolate(I typically use Ghiradelli Bittersweet Dark Chocolate Chips.)
2tablespoonsbutter
2eggs
½cupsugar
1teaspoonvanilla
2cupswalnutschopped
6ouncessemi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate and the butter in a double boiler and whisk smooth. If you prefer to use the microwave, combine the butter and chocolate in a glass bowl and heat for 1 minute at a time at 50% power, stirring until smooth. Set aside the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly.
Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts and stir again.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the cookies appear dry on the outside, about 9-10 minutes. Remove from the oven while the cookies are still gooey and soft inside.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. The cookies will be soft when you place them on the rack, but they will firm up as they cool.
Notes
Be extra careful not to overcook these cookies. They will not be nearly as amazing if they are overdone.
