Time 3h12m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped (not unsweetened)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sambuca romana or 1/2 cup anise-flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Melt chocolate and butter in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  • Whisk together eggs, walnuts, Sambuca, and granulated sugar in another bowl.
  • Stir in flour mixture and chocolate (dough will be thin).
  • Cover and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift confectioners sugar onto a plate.
  • Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls and roll in confectioners sugar to generously coat.
  • Arrange balls 2 inches apart on 2 lightly greased baking sheets and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until puffed and cracked but centers are still a bit soft, 10 to 12 minutes total.
  • Transfer to racks to cool.
