Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I hate to post if this isn't good, but here's the recipe. Let me know how it works out. It sounds yummy.

1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
14 oz. bittersweet chocolate, divided
2 T butter
2 eggs, at room temp (the baker swears this matters)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (ick)

Whisk flour and BP in a small bowl. Chop 6 oz of the chocolate into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces.

Coursely chop remaining chocolate and place in double broiler with butter. Melt over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan, and let it cool for 10 minutes.

In bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar and vanilla on high speed until doubled in volume (about 3 mins.) At low speed blend in chocolate. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. With a wooden spoon, mix in chocolate chunks and walnuts (blech), dough will be thin. Cover with plastic wrap and refridgerate 1 hour.

She says to bake them 2 sheets at a time near the center of the oven. (I don't know whether this matters, but other recipes she bakes one sheet at a time.) Drop chilled dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets with parchment or sprayed with cooking spray. Moisten your palm and flatten slightly. Bake 9-11 minutes at 350 degrees until they appear set, switching sheet positions halfway through baking. Don't overbake, or they will be dry. Cool for 10 mins on sheet, then switch to wire rack to cool.

Have fun!
