These are so wonderful, and worth every bit of the extra effort. This recipe is from an old Gourmet magazine, I think - my copy is so old and yellowed from use, I can barely read it any more. These are almost like candy, but more sophisticated! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons flour, sifted |
1/8 teaspoon baking powder |
1 pinch salt |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate |
3 ounces semisweet chocolate |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/3 cup light brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 tablespoon water |
1 large egg |
3/4 cup chocolate chips |
pecans or walnut halves |
Directions:
1. Line two cookie sheets with foil, set aside. 2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. 3. Place the unsweetened and semisweet chocolate and butter in top of double boiler; cover for a few minutes until chocolate begins to melt; uncover and stir until completely melted. 4. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. 5. Add sugar, vanilla, water, egg; stir until smooth. 6. Add dry ingredients; stir until incorporated. 7. Mix in chocolate bits. 8. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto foil, about 1 1/2 inches apart. 9. Top each cookie with a nut half. 10. Bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes. 11. Slide foil off baking sheets, letting cookies stand on foil for a few minutes before removing them. 12. Finish cooling on racks. |
