Chewy Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

8 oz (226 grams) semisweet baking chocolate, chopped 6 (84 grams) tablespoons butter 2 Eggs 3/4 cup (150 grams) Brown Sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/3 cups (160 grams) all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cup (30-40 grams) chopped nuts 4 oz (113 grams) chocolate chips or chunks 1 cup (160-170 grams) chocolate chips or chunks

Directions

In a heatproof bowl, melt 8 ounces of chocolate and butter in the microwave or a double boiler. If you choose to use the microwave, take the bowl out every 30 seconds and give it a gentle stir. Doing so, there are less chances you’ll burn the chocolate. While the chocolate is melting, in a mixing bowl, beat together 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla until pale and creamy, for about 5 minutes at medium speed. The mixture thickens up and become slightly frothy. Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and gently stir in the flour and baking powder. With a spatula, fold in the chopped nuts and 4 ounces of chocolate chips or chunks. Place the mixing bowl in the fridge and chill for 30 minutes. Once the cookie dough is somewhat harden, using a large ice-cream scoop, drop cookie dough on a baking wheel lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the scooped cookie dough for at least 2 hours before baking. Heat the oven to 350F. Just before baking dot the cookies with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and chunks. Alternately, you can do this step once the cookies are baked. Bake the cookies for exactly 16 minutes. Remove the baking sheet for the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Ennjoyy!!
