Bittersweet Chocolate Chunk Cookies

 

Ingredients & Directions

1/2 c Butter or margarine

1/2 c Sugar

1/4 c Packed brown sugar

1 Egg

1 ts Vanilla

1 c Plus 2 Tbsp unsifted flour

1/2 ts Baking soda

1/2 ts Salt

2/3 c Chopped walnuts or pecans

8 oz Ghirardelli Bittersweet-Chocolate


DIRECTIONS: For the food processor method, place butter (cut up), sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla into the processor bowl; process about 10 seconds. (Or in a mixer, cream softened butter with the same ingredients.) Stir flour with baking powder and salt; blend into creamed mixture. Add nuts. Chop chocolate bars into small pieces; stir into dough. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375-F for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on racks. 


These cookies are delicious served warm when the chocolate is still soft. To reheat cookies in the microwave, process 2 or more cookies for 15 to 20 seconds.
