Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Mixing Spoons
• 3/4 cup sugars
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup brown sugars
• Measuring Spoons
• Cookie sheets
• Mixing bowls
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• Cooling Racks
• 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate (about 1/2 cup)
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate squares (about 1 1/3 cups)
• Measuring cups
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• Oven mitts

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 

   Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler and reserve.

3. Beat the butter until creamy, then add the sugars and baking soda.

4. 

   Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla, then stir in the melted chocolate.

5. 

   Stir in the flour, then, when almost incorporated, add the nuts and semisweet chocolate.

6. 

   Divide dough into cookies (see Tips) and bake for 10-15 minutes, or the edges are firm.

7. Let the cookies cool before handling.

Tips & Warnings

• To form cookies, you can either use an ice-cream scoop to make even portions to drop on the cookie sheet, or roll the dough into a log, chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or so, and, once chilled, slice off even rounds.
• Do not handle the cookies until completely cooled (ok, you may have to eat a few); the chocolate will make them extremely soft, and very hot.
• You can use numerous variations, like adding white chocolate chips or substituting macadamia nuts for the walnuts.
