Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chopped pecans
• 16 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Chop chocolate into small pieces and set half of the chocolate aside for later use. Melt remaining chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth.

Step 2

Add the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla to the melted chocolate, mixing well after each addition. Combine the flour and baking powder, stir into the chocolate mixture along with the reserved chopped chocolate and pecans if desired. Batter will be soft. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto a cookie sheet. Cookies should be at least 2 inches apart.

Step 3

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are puffed and set. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
