Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 16 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ cups chopped walnuts, toasted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt the pound of chocolate and the butter together in a saucepan.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar together at high speed until the mixture becomes thick and lemon colored and falls in ribbons from the beaters, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Gently fold the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture. In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. Sift half of this over the chocolate mixture; fold it in. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture. Fold in the nuts and the chips.

Step 5

Cover the dough and chill for at least a few hours and as long as overnight.

Step 6

Wet your hands and remove large (about 3 tablespoons worth) clumps of chilled dough and quickly roll them into balls. Place the balls about 3 inches apart onto parchment lined sheets. Bake for about 18-20 minutes. The cookie will still appear moist when removed from oven but will firm up when cooled. Remove from oven and cool on sheet for about 10 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.
