Chocolate Brownie Cookies
This has been modified slightly from the original recipe. This is a very rich chocolate cookie, a little brownie-like.

Ingredients:

Unsweetened Chocolate: 4 oz.
Semisweet Chocolate chips: 1 cup
Butter: 6 tablespoons
Eggs: 3
White sugar: 1 cup
Vanilla: 1.5 tsp.
Flour: 1/2 cup
Cocoa: 2 tbsp.
Baking powder: 1/4 tsp.
Salt: 1/4 tsp.
White Chocolate chips (or Chocolate chips): 1 cup
Chopped nuts: 1 cup

Directions

1. In the microwave, melt the unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup chocolate chips, and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Stir frequently. When smooth, set aside to cool to room temperature. You could also do the melting in a double boiler.

2. In a separate, large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes.  Add the chocolate mixture and vanilla and mix thoroughly.

3. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the chocolate/egg/sugar mixture gradually, and mix together. Add the white (or chocolate) chips and the nuts. I prefer the white chips, Whole Foods brand is good.

5. Cover dough with wax paper in the bowl and refrigerate 8 hrs., or overnight.

6. Roll dough into 1 to 1.5 in. balls and place on parchment paper, on cookie sheets about 2 in. apart.

7. Bake at 350 deg. for 16-18 min. Let them cool for 5 min. on the cookie sheets before moving to cooling racks.
