Ultimate Double Chocolate Cookies

Yield:
24 cookies

Ingredients:

  1. 1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi sweet chocolate chips
  2. 1 pkg. (11-1/2 oz.) 60% Cacao Bittersweet chocolate chips
  3. 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  4. 3 eggs
  5. 1 cup granulated sugar
  6. 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  7. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  8. 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:

In double boiler over hot water, melt bittersweet chocolate chips and butter.

In large bowl with electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs and sugar until thick; stir into chocolate mixture.

In small bowl, stir together flour and baking powder; stir into chocolate mixture. Gently mix in semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts.

Using a sheet of plastic wrap, form dough into two logs, each 2 inches in diameter and about 12 inches long. As dough will be quite soft, use plastic wrap to hold dough in log shape. Wrap tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm. (Dough may be frozen; thaw in refrigerator before proceeding with recipe.)

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unwrap dough; with sharp knife, cut into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices 1-1/2 inches apart on greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until shiny crust forms on top, but interior is still soft. Cool on baking sheet; store in airtight tin up to 1 week.
