Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, the unsweetened baking chocolate, and butter together. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and the slightly cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Fold in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the chopped nuts, if using.
Step 8
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy these rich, chocolaty cookies with a glass of milk or coffee!
