Chocolate cookies - Jiah Khan

Recipe: Chocolate cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup walnut pieces

2 oz semisweet baking chocolate

1 cup butter or stick margarine, softened (2 sticks, no substitute)

u00bd cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 u00bc cup all purpose flour

Method:

Whirl walnuts in food processor using short, on-off bursts, until almost powdery (or use a nut mill to grind finely). Set aside.

Whirl chocolate in food processor or blender until powdery. Set aside.

Bake the finely ground chocolate at a baking temperature of 275 degree. It gives the cookies their meltingly rich texture.

Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. In a mixer bowl, combine butter and sugar, and beat until it's fluffy and blends well. Add vanilla and chocolate and mix thoroughly. Gradually mix in flour, walnuts, until well-combined. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoons, placed slightly apart, onto un-greased or parchment-lined baking sheets.

Bake until cookies are firm and lightly browned (35 to 40 minutes). Let cookies stand on baking sheets for about five minutes before removing them to wire racks to finish cooling.
