Carol's Brownie Drops (Chocolate Cookies) image

Expensive, decadent, and there's probably something in the Old Testatment banning them..... because they're so GOOD! This is my mother-in-law's favorite family cookie recipe. Best cookies I ever ate. Since all she does all day long is cook and take care of her home, I'd say that these babies rate right up there. Heck, make a double batch!

Time 45m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (4 ounce) baker's German sweet chocolate (8 ounces total)
1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate and butter over hot water. Cool.
  • Beat eggs in mixer until foamy, (using a Kitchen Aide, use the regulat mixer, not the whisk), then add the sugar, two tablespoons at a time (it's 12 tablespoons, converted).
  • Beat in mixer until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Blend in chocolate.
  • Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • Stir in vanilla and nuts.
  • Using a regular cereal spoon (about 2/3 of a tablespoon in quantity), drop the mix balls on to a greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should feel "set" when done.
  • Cool slightly on sheet before storing/eating.
