Number Of Ingredients 8

11.5 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (I recommend hazelnuts or pecans)

Steps:

Melt bittersweet chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler or microwave. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Stir in chocolate mixture. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts. Refrigerate dough for at least an hour, or until firm. Preheat oven to 375°. Grease or line baking sheets and set aside. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets, leaving about 1 & 1/2 inches between cookies. Bake 12-14 minutes or until shiny crust forms on top but interior is still soft. Cool on baking sheets. Makes about 24 cookies.
