These are chocolaty, moist and rich. They almost taste like brownies. Tip: Do not overbeat cookie dough once the flour is added; the cookies will then be tough rather than tender.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cream the butter until light. Gradually beat in the white and brown sugar ( on low speed with a mixer if using one ) until creamy and light. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate in a small, heavy saucepan over very low heat. Stir chocolate into the butter mixture.

Step 3

Slowly stir in the salt and flour. Combine thoroughly. Stir in walnuts, if desired.

Step 4

Shape into walnut-sized balls. Make an indentation with your thumb in each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes until just done. Cool on rack.
