Have You Ever Eaten A Cookie So Good That...

You ate another, and another, and then tried eating one more but you turned into a giant chocolate bar? That just might happen when you make these Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies. They feature Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate AND Ghirardelli Semi Sweet Chocolate. And Walnuts. These cookies are so good they just might get you laid (hasn't worked yet for me).


Yield: 24 cookies
  • 12 ounce(s) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 11 1/2 ounce(s) 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
  • 6 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup(s) sugar
  • 1/3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
  • 1 cup(s) chopped walnuts

Directions
In double boiler over hot water, melt bittersweet chocolate chips and butter. In large bowl with electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs and sugar until thick; stir into chocolate mixture. In small bowl, stir together flour and baking powder; stir into chocolate mixture. Gently mix in semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts. Using a sheet of plastic wrap, form dough into two logs, each 2 inches in diameter and about 12 inches long. As dough will be quite soft, use plastic wrape to hold dough in log shape. Wrap tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm. (Dough may be frozen; thaw in refrigerator before proceeding with recipe.) Heat oven to 375°F. Unwrap dough; with sharp knife, cut into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices 1 1/2 inches apart on greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until shiny crust forms on top but interior is still soft. Cool on baking sheet; store in airtight tin up to 1 week.
