Time 27m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb bittersweet chocolate, cut in chunks
6 cups semisweet chocolate morsels, divided usage
1/2 lb unsalted butter
8 eggs
3 cups sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
9 cups walnut pieces, chopped (that's right, 9 CUPS!)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt together the bittersweet chocolate, 3 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate morsels and the butter.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool (I do this in the microwave).
  • In an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla for 1 minute on medium speed.
  • Add the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Add to the chocolate-egg mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Fold in the chopped walnuts and the other 3 cups of chocolate chips.
  • Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, scoop batter onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between cookies.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • The cookies should be slightly underdone, with soft, chewy centers and a cracked surface.
  • Remove to a rack to cool.
  • Definitely don't overbake these cookies, or they get dry and hard.
  • Don't make the dough ahead of time, because it will solidify and become difficult to work with.
  • Ideally, you'll make the cookies one day and eat them within 24 hours — if they last that long.
  • Store the cookies in a sealed container, or freeze for up to three months.
