Death
By Chocolate Cookies
By Brandy Smith
“Perfect for the serious chocolate
lover. Very rich though!”
1 package (8 squares) of semi-sweet baking chocolate
3/4 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine softened
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup baking powder
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chunks
2 cups walnuts (optional)
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Microwave chocolate squares in a
large bowl for high for 2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted
and smooth. Stir in sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla until well
blended. Stir in flour and baking powder. Stir in chocolate
chunks and nuts. ** If not using nuts increase flour to 3/4 cup
to prevent spreading. ** Drop by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto uncreased
cookie sheets. Bake for 13 to 14 minutes or until cookies are
puffed and feel set to the touch. Cool on cookie sheet 1
minute. Move to wire rack to cool completely. (Although I
think they taste good a little warm!) Makes about 15-18 large
cookies.
